They are demanding more safety on the “road of death”

While a tribute is organized in memory of the victims, tongues loosen and hopes are formulated.

 

“Death Road”, an exaggerated term, “usurped” for the Department and specifically the county House of sustainable management. Responsible for maintenance of the RD231, they point to further the “errors of conduct” of users and call for their wear a safety vest and compliance with the rules of the road.

 

Simply yet to type the name of the road into a search engine to find that the axis has very bad press and cumulative fatalities. The words of the Department are bound relatives of various victims who lost their lives in different places of this long winding axis. They are called Antoine… Only on the year that just ended.

 

“And we do not know half of the accidents that have occurred on this road, as there were many others, fatal or not,” says the family of Anis, another victim of accident on the county in 2014. The girl, she has not died on that road. But she and her family had their daily switch as brutally as for others. Anis has now lost any form of autonomy. Her parents hope that she will one day a minimum of mobility and will contact them again. They engaged in a daily struggle for that.

 

Families waiting

They share another hope: that work be undertaken to secure the RD231. “We just wish there are more accidents”, begs Evelyn’s mother Anis, pointing the dangerousness of the county. “We could do if only shave a little embankments to improve visibility in bends, for example”, says the father of Anis.

 

An investigation is ongoing to determine the causes of this accident. “We will carry complaint in all cases. The results of the expertise simply determine how we will. But for now, I’m waiting to know if my son well respected speed limits and all indications are that it did “spear dad, too convinced of the accident-prone nature of the road. He added: “Myself, I never borrowed this road; I walked around by the A16.”

 

For him, there is an obvious solution to secure the road: lowering the speed limit. The man does not understand why it remains so high (90 and 70 km / h) and changes several times over a few kilometers. It also points to the lack of visibility in different places. And on the very spot where his son died, he added, “this junction should have been abolished long ago”. It’s near the same intersection Antoine Boniface, volunteer firefighter, was killed a year ago. He was on foot and climbed the RD231 at night without reflective vest. Driving at risk, but that does not resolve Nicolas Devein, his former colleague who lives a few hundred meters from the scene of the accident, to draw a line under what happened.

 

The white walking is above all a tribute, but it also offers hope of some relatives of victims. Not all want one thing: more security.

Road safety: A tragedy was averted on highway

Life expectancy for a pedestrian without safety vest driving on the emergency lane on the highway does not exceed 20 minutes. When a vehicle breaks down and is forced to stop on the side, all occupants must exit the vehicle from the outside to the floor and get behind the security barrier. Stay in the vehicle represents an extreme danger. The couple in their sixties, who was traveling in a motorhome yesterday on the A62 in the direction Bordeaux-Toulouse, had assimilated this precaution.

 

When the driver found that his vehicle had burst, he pulled over to the emergency lane, and with his wife, they are out. They were waiting and wearing a safety reflective vest when troubleshooting heavyweight violently hit the back of the camper, spraying almost in shock. The two occupants have been spared because they were outside. The trailer ended up in the ditch, he was carrying shutters. No contamination was found by rescue. Firefighters carried the slightly injured in hospital Agen.

 

In case of failure, it is recalled that before out of the car to get behind the slide with all the other passengers, the driver must put on his yellow vest that should be in the cabin. In the event of a puncture, do not change the wheel itself, calling for service on a terminal located every 2 km, walking behind the zipper for access.

Road safety: the students wear safety vest

Bracieux nine college students received the National Order of Merit for their project around the port of yellow reflective vest.

 

Thursday, June 16, Hubert school in Bracieux has hosted prestigious guests. Valerie Goff, academic director of the department and Alain, Chief of Staff of the prefect, had traveled to greet the “amazing work and smart” 9 students.

As a reward, they received the National Order of Merit awarded by the medalists and departmental chairman, Jean-Claude. “Now we will communicate this production to the national jury of the Order of Merit in Paris. We truly support this project because it is in time and we will do everything for it to go away, “says Jean-Claude.

 

Eight panels on a wall tell the story of the yellow vest over the centuries. It is amazing project Romaric and 9 of his students. “It was a kind of timeline incorporating the yellow vest in paintings and texts of our history book” says Camille.

 

“A Citizens’ Agenda”

But basically, the idea germinated in the head Romaric. The teacher wanted to start a project that echoes an internal problem in college. “Many students ride bicycles or off the bus without wearing a yellow vest, he says, so we already wanted to trigger awareness in them.”

In depicting characters from the middle Ages coating the yellow vest, Romaric has integrated this item in history to “create a reflex” for these college students. Professor promotes another type of prevention, bypassing the awareness campaigns it deems ineffective.

This production, own students, allowed them to “take ownership history “, adding a touch of humor to the illuminations of the Middle Ages. What, hopefully, to get the message to their peers.
