A safe and cautious city!
The City has announced obtaining the "Ville Prudente, trois cœurs" label for the very first time!
Safety is at the heart of municipal action, as shown by obtaining the Ville Prudente label. For its first participation in the Ville Prudente label, La Valette rose to the 3-heart rank thanks to a range of actions putting road safety at the heart of the daily life of Valettois. "The Ville Prudente label, launched by the Prévention Routière association, rewards municipalities that actively work to reinforce road safety and protect their citizens in their daily lives.
The awarding of the 3 hearts to La Valette-du-Var reflects its commitment to calmer traffic flow, the presence of secure infrastructure, and increased awareness among road users, whether motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists," explained Thierry Albertini, the mayor.
Concrètement, the town hall's action consists of getting Valettois used to a set of reflexes to make the municipality a safe and cautious city. TRAVEL METHODS "This action is implemented through the development of "Pistes Vélos Sécurisées". In 2024, more than 9 km were created, network-mapping the territory and offering new travel methods, including in busy areas that are rarely chosen for such actions, such as commercial and artisanal zones.
This also results in repainting pedestrian crossings to provide better visibility for motorists. It also includes road safety courses taught by the Police municipale, during which CM2 students are prepared for the best way to travel between home and middle school. The students also take the "Challenge de la prévention routière" set up by the Pôle Éducation," added the mayor.
"In terms of road safety, the action involves hosting the "Lumière et vision" operation, which raises drivers' awareness of the habits to adopt regarding road visibility and the adjustments to be made to their vehicle to face the early nightfall in winter. In this range of measures, the City does not forget seniors, who are also taught the right habits to adopt to travel safely, on foot or by car," the mayor further specified. Finally, numerous control operations are carried out by the Police municipale to ensure a safe road for users: anti-rodeo operations with vehicle seizures, breathalyzer and drug tests, fines and custody, inspections of heavy goods vehicles coming from the Tourris quarry, checks on the transported weight, driver certification, and speed determination, in partnership with the Direction Régionale de l'Environnement, de l'Aménagement et du Logement (DREAL).
Furthermore, the City has renewed the vehicles of the Police municipale as part of a Plan Pluriannuel d'Investissement.
