Highlights: The municipality of Épron (Calvados) installed ten "stop" signs over 200 meters, five on each side of the road. The panels were stolen! The mayor, Franck Guéguéniat, deplores the grotesque measures because of the multiplication of incivilities. "People no longer respect anything, neither the priorities on the right, nor the common good," he says. "In any case, this solution is not optimal. Perhaps a bike-car shared lane should be considered," adds the mayor.


To slow down motorists in a street where the Highway Code was rarely respected, the municipality of Épron (Calvados) installed no


"Certainly, we asked that motorists be slowed down. But now, it doesn't make sense anymore. We have to stop every day... 20 meters! I think we have the record for the concentration of stop signs in France... Like most residents, David, 46, doesn't understand how this surreal situation came about. Rue Lébisey leads to an urban ring road that clearly encouraged some motorists to press the accelerator much too hard.

The residents had therefore called on the town hall. But the response far exceeded their expectations... A few days ago, the community installed ten "stop" signs over 200 meters, five on each side of the road! "Here, for example, we cross a dead end where there is never anyone. It doesn't make sense to put a stop, "reacts Sylvain.

The panels were stolen!

"I must admit that there was a problem with the transmission of information between our services and the service provider who installed these panels. We had planned for half as many. So this situation will be regularized. However, we arrive at these grotesque measures because of the multiplication of incivilities. People no longer respect anything, neither the priorities on the right, nor the common good. Local residents take a long time to get out of their homes, the bus can not leave. And as if that were not enough, today, the majority of the signs we are talking about have just been stolen! " deplores the mayor, Franck Guéguéniat.

Indeed, of the ten panels whose location can still be guessed, there are already only 2... "In any case, this solution is not optimal. Perhaps a bike-car shared lane should be considered, limited to 25 km/h. Hoping that everyone this time will respect the law, "concludes the mayor, obviously disappointed.
