A new incivility. Each day, extraordinary convoys cross Sallanches in order to connect with the Megeve road. The roadway in the city center is often narrow and the roundabouts are tight, which can sometimes lead to deterioration of the public space. A truck drove by the Saint-Eloi bridge, breaking down barriers, and didn't stop on Tuesday, July 5.
Mayor Georges Morand is frustrated by the situation: "Today there is neither faith nor law and other municipalities see that, I am thinking about Magland. These vehicles are too wide, they hang, and they don't care. We send super tankers that are more than 3.50m wide to our cities centers.
Concerning the Sallanches case, cameras allowed for identification of the vehicle. The company will also pay for repairs. However, this is not always possible. The mayor will send a letter to Haute-Savoie to change the situation. He even plans to go further.
"I am willing to issue an order prohibiting certain heavy goods vehicles from passing through my commune. It is likely to be illegal. Georges Morand says, "We maintain the city, and we try to respect environment, population, and these people believe that they are above all," The association of mayors in France should also support the first magistrate de Sallanches, who "doesn't take a strong enough stand on these issues".
