Users who stop in the Poitou-Charentes area of the A10 near Vouillé in the Deux-Sèvres cannot pass by. At the time of leaving the motorway area, 6 semi-trailers transport 18 damaged vans. All belong to agents of Vinci Autoroutes and they have been hit on the motorways of France since the beginning of the year: ” 18 of the 30 trucks hit since the start of the year are here “says Raphaëlle Montagu-Dardaine, communications manager for Vinci Autoroutes in the West Atlantic region.

In addition to the wish to make road users aware of the damage resulting from an impact with a Vinci van on the motorway, the objective is also to educate. This is particularly the case by reminding users who stop near vehicles to speak with the teams, reminding them of the right actions to adopt. With a clear instruction: respect the safety corridor. Registered on the highway code for 4 years, it is still, in the opinion of the Vinci Autoroutes teams, not well enough known: ” The aim is for users who see a vehicle stopped on the road, slow down, signal a lane change with a flashing light, move to the left lane and adapt their pace “says the company’s communications manager.

In 3 out of 5 accidents, the person responsible for the collision is a sleeping or inattentive driver. The objective is therefore clear: to carry out prevention with all road users: ” We also want to humanize the discourse. We want to tell people, respect each other “says Pascal, highway patrol worker.
