“After a three-month communication campaign, we begin, Monday March 29, road checks to enforce the speed of 30 km / h in the city of Chartres”, revealed, Friday March 26, Richard Lizurey, deputy to the mayor of Chartres, in charge of public tranquility.
This operation, piloted by municipal police officers, will last all week, at different places and times of the day. It should last for several months.
Why traffic is now limited to 30 km / h almost everywhere in Chartres
Sensitization
The reduction in speed from 50 to 30 km / h, since January 1, 2021, was previously focused on the inner city. This restriction is spread over the majority of streets in the city of Chartres, with a few exceptions: “The main penetrating axes are not concerned, such as avenue Jean-Mermoz limited to 70 km / h, then rue d ‘ Ablis at 50 km / h. This is also the case for rue de Sours and avenue d’Orléans.
L’Écho has tested the 30 km / h in the metropolitan area of Chartres
The elected official specifies: “All the boulevards are limited to 30 km / h. The municipality of Chartres has put in place important signage to warn road users. They had three months to “familiarize themselves” with the new speed standards, depending on the axes taken.
“Everyone must be safe”
The elected representative will be attentive to the remarks: “We can rectify or improve the signs if that seems relevant to us. »Richard Lizurey is part of a logic of awareness:
“A tolerance for small speeding violations is possible. But before, some drove at 70 km / h instead of 50. Now, the observation for some is 70 for 30 km / h allowed. It’s not the same thing. “

And to repeat: “The DNA of the city of Chartres is to be a peaceful city. We are also vigilant to the behavior of pedestrians, motorized two-wheelers and bicycles. Everyone must be safe. “
The gradual withdrawal of traffic lights is also part of the desire to make traffic more fluid.
