However, it does not work like the others: so that it goes from red to green in front of them, the motorists of Mickey Saint-Denis (Côte-d’Or) must respect the speed limit. “There is a presence detector on the light, which will start a stopwatch. If the car is traveling at 50 km / h, it takes so long to cover the distances. Thus, if it is driving too fast, for the remaining time it will have to stop, and the light will turn green a little later “, explains Jean-Luc Rosier, the mayor (I KNOW) from the village.
Put into service six years ago, the smart fire would have avoided many accidents, according to the politician. However, the village could be forced to withdraw the device, considered non-regulatory by the government. “The use of speed-dependent lights does not comply with current legislation (…): communities that have already installed this type of device must turn them off “, considers the Ministry of the Interior.
