To celebrate the first weekend of great holiday departures, the Road Safety expecting a massive influx of motorists on the roads of France.
For several years the number killed and injured in road transport continues to decline. How can we not rejoice? For specialists, this is certainly due, in large part, to the strengthening of political control by speed cameras that have flourished along the roads, particularly since the early 2000s.
The speed cameras are already well mapped, either on websites or in GPS in-vehicle navigation aid road. The Road Safety itself provides all the information about speed cameras and
The Road Safety also provides information on the distribution of radar mobile departments. But it is not enough information to motorists themselves because the location of mobile cameras or temporary is not indicated.
Yesterday I saw on TV a story about warning systems and mapping called "collaborative" of traffic radar, designed to complement the information already available on the fixed cameras, information delivered by a "time Real "by motorists for mobile radars or temporary.
Thus, the system AlerteGPS offers motorists equipped with this system to send a warning to other motorists to alert them to any temporary or mobile radar. Immediately reported a radar, this information is broadcast via satellite or GPRS / UMTS to the databases of the device and then immediately rerun in near real time to all other motorists equipped with the same GPS system. They see then see a warning on their GPS equipment when they are near the camera and reported. But adding a new radar can also be done from the website of the company whose here here the result in the map interface:
Another GPS, Coyote , offers a similar device called Coyote Mini :
This system, that is "the only alarm GPS of fixed and mobile radars "(voire. ..) works as a subscription. It also allows motorists who are equipped to report any temporary or mobile radar and disseminate this information in near real time by GSM to other motorists equipped with the same device and who have paid their subscription. The site
Radar mobiles.fr offers also a mapping of fixed and mobile radars based on Goole Maps that allows you to search by department, road and municipality. "The information contained on the site are either from a location on the ground or a ticket received by a user. You too can participate and enrich the database by submitting your sites with the category Add."
On 30 June, the City of Mazamet in the Tarn, organized the operation "12,000 lights for 12,000 lives saved on the road" . It aimed to highlight the achievements in road safety including reducing the number of deaths. On May 17, 1973, the same city Mazamet had hit the headlines with the operation "Mazamet wiped off the map" , organized with the Road Safety. During this operation , thousands of people grew long in the streets of the city. Last year, 16,170 people were killed on the roads and the people of this era Mazamet had 16 171 inhabitants. For fifteen minutes, people were lying Mazamet, silent and motionless, to illustrate the carnage. This was the launch of two slogans become Famous: "belt for life" and "driving, the sight that's life" .

can be found on the site of the INA some pictures of this in the show crossfire of September 26, 1973:
following years The number of dead had begun almost steady decrease as shown in this graph the annual number of fatalities in road accidents on the national network, available here on the site of Road Safety:

I tried to picture what had otherwise been in operation from 1973 Mazamet using the little guy from Google Maps, Pegman, and the representative of a reason to lie for 100 killed road at the time.
Today in France, the annual number of fatalities road approximately 4,200 people, or 12,000 lives saved since 1973, hence the operation Mazamet of 30 June. This is another way of representing the results, always keeping in image for the City of Mazamet which, seen from the sky might look like this, using the same Pegman, but standing this time, to symbolize the lives saved (a Pegman for 100 lives saved).
The Prefecture de Police de Paris has developed a mapping of accident cumulative (2006/2007/2008) of the Capital districts and for beltway.
This online mapping can also discover the intersections and sections of track the most accident.

There are many other maps Internet of accident of French roads. Information exists and is now increasingly well known, especially in map form.
If you take the road today, but especially good holiday beware!
