Welcome to the second episode of this special edition of Mobility Stories. We are live from the Cerisy Colloquia in Normandy, where international meetings are being held on the theme “Understanding the Road: Imaginaries, Meaning and Innovation”.
Researchers, scientists, experts and historians take turns at the Movin'On and L’Express microphones across four original episodes. In this second episode, we explore a highly sensitive yet essential issue for living together: SHARING the road.
Mobility has never been more diverse. There is now a multitude of modes of transport: cars, bicycles, motorcycles, tricycles, scooters, heavy goods vehicles, buses, unicycles, skateboards, tractors, walking...
This diversity brings many traffic challenges and can even heighten tensions on the road. It is becoming essential to understand how we can share the asphalt safely and effectively.
Should we rethink and redesign the road so that everyone can use it safely? Can we share the road? That is the question we explore with our guests:
Yves Crozet, Professor Emeritus at Sciences Po Lyon and the Laboratoire Aménagement Économie Transport at the CNRS. Mayor of Saint-Germain-la-Montagne in the Loire.
Emma-Sophie Mouret, PhD in Land-Use Planning History.
Jacques Lévy, Geographer and member of the Chôros research rhizome.
