The first in a set of new speed camera warning signs will go up in the Dordogne next month, according to local news sources.

Sud Ouest report that the new signs will be placed 2 km away from the actual speed camera, in a bid to improve road safety in the region. Signs are currently posted just 400 metres ahead of cameras, which can result in accidents caused by sudden braking.

The new signs will bear the words “pour votre sécurité, contrôles radars fréquents,” warning motorists that speed cameras are placed at regular intervals to ensure their safety.

Environment Minister Jean-Louis Borloo explained the thinking behind the new sign placements. He told English-language newspaper The Connexion: “These new panels are to stop drivers who are breaking the limit suddenly braking in front of the signs.”

“They should make motorists drive responsibly at all times,” he added.

The Connexion confirm that the first new signs in the Dordogne will be on the RD 936 at Lamonzie-Saint-Martin. Others will go up on the A36 at Sausheim, and the RD 83 at Rouffach – both in the Haut-Rhin.

In other local news, more than 100 people attended a giant picnic organised by the Dordogne Regional Council on Sunday.

The event, which took place by the village pond in Saint-Estèphe, enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere and encouraged locals to make friends with other residents.

Some of the guests went for a stroll after the pique-nique géant to take in the area’s natural delights. Others stayed by the pond and enjoyed a game of boules, according to Sud Ouest.
