Slowdown in the streets of the Lyon metropolis. While Paris is preparing to lower its maximum speed this Monday to 30km / hour, it is the capital of the Rhône-Alpes region could also become “Ville 30” in 2022. It is the vice-president of the Metropolis in charge from Travel Fabien Bagnon who announced it at the end of the week
to our colleagues from Salade Lyonnaise. “The date will be announced before the end of the year,” said the municipal councilor of Saint-Genis-Laval.
“The principle of the city 30 is an inversion of logic: we have a speed which is limited to 30 by default and occasionally on the main axes we have a limitation of 50 km / h”, detailed Fabien Bagnon at the microphone of BFM Lyon. The objective of this measure: to reduce the number of accidents, reduce noise and atmospheric pollution and leave more room for cyclists and pedestrians.
