Replacing Montalivet’s last traffic light with a roundabout
Smoother, safer, fairer.
There’s still one remaining traffic light in Montalivet. Many know the situation: you end up waiting even when there’s hardly any traffic – or people take detours to skip the queue.
We propose replacing this light with a roundabout. It’s simpler, flows better and is safer – especially when traffic is light.
Roundabouts have proven their value everywhere: they reduce wait times and make intersections safer. And even when accidents happen, the consequences are often less serious thanks to the lower speeds.
In the long term, a roundabout is also more economical, requiring less maintenance than a traffic signal. And most of all, it fits the spirit of our town: practical, calm and full of common sense.
A small improvement that would make a big difference in daily life – no big speeches, just real impact for everyone.
