For David Lamiray, the mayor of Maromme (Seine-Maritime), the cup is full.
" Fed up !
»He wrote on social networks this Tuesday, February 2, just hours after a new traffic accident in the Valletta coast which claimed the life of a 19-year-old driver.
“It's a hot reaction.
You know, when you arrive at 8 a.m. on site and see the emergency services practicing cardiac massage, you learn that this young girl will not get away with it, mayor or not, it is the heart. who speaks ”, assures the elected representative the day after the tragedy.
For him, as for other representatives of the Rouen-Normandy metropolis, this accident is only a consequence of the saturation of the A150 motorway, the gateway to Rouen for 60,000 vehicles per day in the west. from the city.
"This road (Editor's note: the coast of Valletta) has become the reel of the A150 which is saturated and on which there have been no less than 19 accidents on the Rouen-Maromme axis in two months".
An anticipated situation ... but work never started
And in fact, to avoid getting stuck when entering or leaving the city, many drivers prefer to use this road which is not designed to receive as much traffic.
When it is not a famous driving assistance application which spontaneously offers you to take it to avoid traffic jams.
"When I talk about it around me, everyone says to me, you're right, something has to be done, it can't go on like this.
And yet it has been going on for years!
".
For David Lamiray, we even have to go back to the construction of the A150, which opened in 1975, to understand that its designers had anticipated this situation.
“There is the land area to create a third row in the upward direction for slow vehicles.
Why don't we do it?
"
And, according to him, it is not the recent study on the speed and the order which should soon be signed by the prefect to reduce it to 90 km / h on this portion of the highway that should solve the problem.
“It's not a question of speed but of fluidity.
Everything must be done to avoid the jolts which cause accidents, generally crumpled sheet metal, but above all slowdowns which, by repercussions, manage to paralyze the whole town at certain times of the day ”.
