The rue des Lois converted into a semi-pedestrian plateau will require the City to become 100% pedestrian. A demand linked to the insecurity and incivility of cars and two-wheelers.
It is one accident too many. Rue des Lois, two days ago, a scooter and a car collided around 9 p.m., luckily causing no casualties. “The scooter finished its race by fitting into the front of a hairdressing salon,” explains Isis, from the café El Deseo. He was arriving from the Place du Capitole and the car from the rue du Collège de Foix. The car did not stop, the scooter wanted to avoid it. Once again, the vehicle was going way too fast. I prefer not to imagine what could have happened if the scooter had hit our full terrace at this time ”.
The young woman repeats it: rue des Lois, this type of accident happens every week between a bicycle, a scooter or a motorbike which does not respect the regulations: “For the moment, there has been more fear than harm. . But until when ? She asks herself.
Complaints are piling up
This accident only reinforces the district’s demand for total pedestrianization of the street. Semi-pedestrian, the rue des Lois is fitted out as a meeting area, leaving plenty of room for pedestrians and bicycles. “It could have worked, remarks Philippe Roncalli, president of the association of traders, if good citizenship was there… But accidents follow one another. We therefore made an appointment at the end of September with Julie Escudier, neighborhood mayor. The City must help us make this street more secure. It has become hellish for everyone. Complaints are piling up ”. A state of affairs that he deplores: “This street is pleasant with a varied supply of shops. The restaurateurs have been able to enhance and vegetate their establishment. There is a good understanding with a village side. But these accidents, often linked to incivility, spoil everything ”.
