Le 21 septembre dernier, la journaliste Alyette Debray-Mauduy a perdu la vie dans un accident de vélo percutée par un poids lourd.
Le 21 septembre dernier, notre consœur du Figaro Alyette Debray-Mauduy perdait la vie dans un tragique accident de vélo, percutée par un poids lourd alors qu’elle se trouvait visiblement dans son angle mort.
Cet accident pose la question de la manière dont la sécurité routière est promue et assurée en France, et plus particulièrement à Paris. À Londres, en 2019 a été votée une norme de visibilité directe «Direct Vision Standard» (DVS).
Elle s’attaque directement à la question des poids lourds, explique un communiqué de la société d’exploitation des transports en commun londoniens, Transport for London (TfL). Mise en place en 2021, cette réglementation, appliquée par Transport for London, impose à tous les poids lourds de plus de 12 tonnes de disposer d’un permis pour circuler dans l’agglomération de Londres.
La norme DVS évalue la visibilité offerte par les vitres de la cabine d’un poids lourd et indique les niveaux de risque pour les usagers vulnérables de la route (piétons, cyclistes…).

The first name Marie, given to one in five girls in 1900, today represents only 0.3% of births in France, replaced by compound first names and then by first names inspired by stars like Brigitte or Sylvie.
