“From a quiet village, we went to a noisy village. “Thus testifies a resident of Eve, in the Oise, who has seen in recent days a large number of vehicles take the streets of the town. Since July 22, renovation work on RN2 has indeed required motorists to find a substitution route.
Gold according to The Parisianthose who follow Waze’s indications are taken to the village of Eve. After the appearance of an abnormally high flow of vehicles and unusual traffic jams, the mayor therefore made a radical decision: prohibiting traffic in the streets of the village with the exception of residents. “The roads of the town are not made to accommodate such a flow,” said the town hall. It is a question of security for the inhabitants and maintenance of the roads. »»
This measure, which follows several difficult days for the inhabitants of Eve, is supported by the Senlis sub-prefecture. A dam was placed at the entrance to the town with a “deviation” sign, forcing motorists to look for another path.
Failure to comply with the deviation
But despite the municipal decree and the barrier set up, some drivers do not hesitate to defy the prohibition. This is why the town hall asked for reinforcements from the gendarmerie. According to The Parisianmotorists who are defaulting now face a fine of 150 euros.
To prevent drivers from continuing to flock to the gates of the municipality, the town hall also asked its citizens to report on Waze that the crossing of the village is impossible, so that this information is integrated into the travel proposals. “As soon as the work on the RN2 is completed, the system will be lifted,” promises the municipality. But by then, we will ask the gendarmes to continue to help us enforce the decree, especially during rush hour in the morning. »»
