He should not think only about the toll of cord

Buried on numerous occasions, the idea to enter major cities only drivers who have paid a toll resurfaced. But by what it is necessary, of many steps remain to cross. The first of them, perhaps fatal, will be played tomorrow in Parliament. Senators and deputies, meeting in joint mixed commission, must indeed agree on what could be one of the most spectacular innovations in the Grenelle 2 Bill. The first is introduced an amendment providing for "the establishment of an experiment of congestion in the agglomerations with more than 300,000 inhabitants". An arrangement rejected by the National Assembly but that dog not the Government in judging the recent words of Dominique Bussereau. "The Government does not consider that it is a bad idea", dropped last week, Secretary of State calling the crossing the vote of Deputies as a "majority of conservatives." Jean-Louis Borloo, Minister of the environment, is not opposed to the toll for that it is not "stupid and brutal".

Louis Nègre, which bears the amendment is in defending course. "He should not think only about the toll of cord." There are also network applies to type infrastructure Expressway and not to smaller municipal highways. "Can also be the toll of areas", argues Senator UMP of the Alpes - Maritimes.

Transportation development

Such devices, the initiative would be the commune or the intermunicipal, could also be put in place "until after the establishment of collective transport infrastructure for the absorption of the postponement of the toll traffic".

The project would be validated by the Council of State, after impact analysis. Finally, the funds raised would be arrow, that is dedicated to the financing of operations in connection with public transport. "To boost the development of additional lines or parks parking relais", says the Vice-President of the urban community of Nice. Louis Nègre also rejects the socially discriminating nature often attributed to congestion, particularly by the Paris City Hall. It is also the argument employed by Jean-Marc Ayrault. The PS of Nantes Mayor sees this device "the admission of failure of the policies of travel". For him, the solution remains "a real alternative to the car, with an adapted transit system and lines at high frequencies to serve the city". Bordeaux and Strasbourg, the elected representatives are on the same line: the level of development reached by the own site transport (bus to high quality of service, tram) is such that it has deterrent effects on traffic. In the capital of Aquitaine, part of the car parks of the centre, are often little frequented.

All notices are not sliced. Gérard Collomb, Mayor of Lyon, is in favour of pay zones, a little to the image of the Swiss vignette, paid by those who use such spaces. In the event that the legislation would allow, the PS elected does not then to study in the western portion of the device of Lyon this scenario. Finally, in Lille, Daniel Percheron, the President of Calais, spoke clearly for a moderate congestion, the truck first, and then for private vehicles eventually.
