The French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs has asked CERN to draw the attention of the members of personnel to the decree that reduces the maximum speed limit from 90 km/h to 80 km/h on all two-way single carriageway roads with no central reservation, which comes into force on 1 July 2018.
There are three reasons behind it:
- speed is the leading cause of fatal accidents in France,
- most fatal accidents occur on two-way roads with no central reservation,
- speed affects driving both from the point of view of stopping distances and the field of vision (the higher the speed, the narrower the field of vision).
