We’re going to have to put our feet up! As of August 4, 2022, a new speed camera will be put into operation on the A150 in Rouen. The prefecture explains why this establishment.
A speed limit not respected
The road axis, between the Flaubert bridge and the center of Rouen, is particularly borrowed and, unfortunately, many accidents canceled there.
This is why the speed was reduced from 110 to 90 km / h at the beginning of 2021, over a portion of 1.6 km, recalls the prefecture. Or, “the automatic counting stations have shown that the measure is not respected by users, because the drop in the average speed observed on the section is in reality only 5 km / h”, deplores the cabinet of the prefect in a communicated .
A fixed speed camera was therefore installed a few weeks ago by order of the prefect, in order to penalize drivers who did not respect the speed limit. From midnight, August 4, it will be turned on.
With this measure, the prefecture hopes to reduce the already heavy toll on the roads of Seine-Maritime in 2022: 34 deaths since the start of the year, i.e. 13 more than in 2019 (reference year before the Covid epidemic ).
