Sécurité routière : vers une réduction de la limitation de vitesse ?
Le Conseil national de la sécurité routière a évoqué la piste d’une réduction de la limitation de la vitesse sur les routes secondaires pour limiter le nombre d’accidents mortels. L’objectif du gouvernement est de passer sous la barre des 2.000 victimes par an d’ici 2020.
The road safety advisers are recommending a reduction in the speed limit on secondary routes to limit the number of fatal accidents. The government objective is to break the 2000 victims barrier by 2020.

“Réduire la vitesse sur les routes, ce n’est plus une question taboue“, explique Philippe Lauwick. Ce médecin généraliste préside le groupe de travail “alcool, stupéfiants et vitesse” au sein du Conseil national de la sécurité routière. C’est ce dernier qui a avancé lundi “plusieurs pistes de réflexion” lors d’une réunion dédiée à l’objectif affiché par le gouvernement : passer sous la barre des 2.000 victimes par an sur les routes d’ici 2020 (contre 3.650 tués en 2012).
‘Reducing the speed on roads is no longer a tabou subject’, explained Philippe Lauwick. This GP presides over a working group on ‘alcohol, drugs and speed’ at the heart of the national advisors on road safety. This was advanced on Monday ‘several areas of reflection’ during a meeting dedicated to the objective proposed by the government: break the barrier of 2000 road victims per year between now and 2020. (against 3,650 in 2012).
If accepted this would mean the end of the 90kmh signs on secondary routes.

About bill
Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer.
The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013.
Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI.
Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug
2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website.
But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien.
The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50.
Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea.
