Oreye’s new directional islands and roundabout are now prepared.

But the particularity of these new road devices is that they were made with recycled cobblestones. “We salvaged blue stone cobblestones during the renovation of rue du Ruisseau, which were used to create the perimeters and filling of the islets and the roundabout. This is a nod to the history of our village, which was in its time called the City of cobblestones”because the village was once home to many pavers. “The cobblestones we recovered are genuine vintage cobblestones.”

Especially for more security

But if these devices were built, it is mainly to limit the speed of cars in the rue des Combattants. “This street had become a highway. So the idea here is to force motorists to slow down by simply diverting them.”

The work, carried out by the Frères company, cost the municipality €25,000. Amount it has invested from equity.
