Protests against the 80 km/hr limit on rural roads are on-going? (twice)

[edit]

Article says: "Protests against the 80 km/hr limit on rural roads are on-going" It says it twice.

And here is one source for the acts of vandalism: https://www.francetvinfo.fr/societe/securite-routiere/instinctivement-est-nee-une-revolte-adversaires-du-80-km-h-ils-ont-decide-de-s-en-prendre-aux-radars-automatiques_2934379.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.199.96.27 (talk) 17:40, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"In dry weather rural 2- or 3-lane roads are limited to 80 from 90 km/h"

[edit]

I am unsure what we mean: "In dry weather rural 2- or 3-lane roads are limited to 80 from 90 km/h".

Before 01/08/0218, speed limit was 80 km/h when raining and 90 km/h when dry.

Now, the Article R413-2 [1] of the codified Code de la route defines the speed limits this way:

  • speed limit is 80 km/h when there is only one lane in one direction (Dry weather: Article R413-2.I, rainy or other weather Article R413-2.II).
  • speed limit is 90 km/h when there are two lanes in the same direction, only for those lanes (Dry weather: Article R413-2.I, but 80 km/h on other weather Article R413-2.II).
  • Dual carriageway (Dry weather 110 km/h by Article R413-2.I, but 100 km/h on other weather due to Article R413-2.II).
  • Motorways (Dry weather 130 km/h by Article R413-2.I, but 110 km/h on other weather due to Article R413-2.II). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.214.110 (talk) 20:46, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
