According to an Ifop survey, more than 60% of French people would be in favor of reducing their speed to 110 km/h on the motorways to save fuel.
If fuel prices are falling, they still weigh heavily on the wallets of motorists. Faced with this situation, many users have changed their transport habits. Reducing speed is one of the most effective ways to save money. As a result, the French would be majority to reduce their speed to 110 km/h on the motorway.
In any case, this is what a survey by Ifop, for Acting for the Environment, confirms. When asked whether French motorists would personally reduce their speed to 110 km/h to save money, the “Yes” wins at 63%. The “No” is therefore in the minority. However, 18% of respondents say they have no intention of reducing their speed on these roads to save money.
The most precarious more inclined to reduce their speed to 110 km/h
In details, the most precarious are those who answered the most in the affirmative to this question to reduce their speed to 110 km/h. Thus, the “Yes” wins respectively 64% and 69% among employed and inactive. Among these, retirees are the most likely to slow down, at 73%compared to 61% for the other inactive people.
This figure of 73% are quite logically among those aged 65 and over and rises sharply from the age of 50 (66%). Finally, the women surveyed are the most willing to slow down, at 71% against 54% among the men concerned by the study.
Soon new speed reductions?
This is a study on a subject that does not fail to divide, as the speed reduction project creates divisions. The proposal was mentioned a few years ago by the Citizen Climate Convention, without being restrained.
However, with the war in Ukraine and the rise in the price of petroleum products, the subject came back on the table. In early June, the International Energy Agency called for an even stricter speed limit and “extraordinary measures”.
Also remember that Elisabeth Borne, Prime Minister, is in favor of 110 km / h on the motorway. In recent years, such a measure was however particularly rejected by the French. The episode of 80 km / h also undoubtedly remains in memory of Emmanuel Macron.
