The reserved lanes will be even more so next year! Automated checks on careless motorists and bikers who use these roads will in fact be strengthened.
The 115 km of reserved lanes on French roads are aptly named: they are in fact reserved for buses, taxis, carpooling and very low-emission vehicles. An ordinary motorist or motorcyclist who uses these roads without authorization can be fined and have a point removed from their driving license – this latter sanction will however disappear from January 1, 2024.
When AI supports the patrol
Good news that hides bad news: as reported The Informeda decree is being drafted between the Ministries of the Interior, Transport and Ecological Transition. The idea is to automate the checks by crossing several files : the database of Crit'Air certificates, that of registration documents as well as the list of vehicles which can circulate on reserved lanes.
This information will be cross-referenced with data collected in the field by the devices responsible for counting the number of people in vehicles (some already exist, and they are very efficient). There you will find photos of the car and its passengers – whose faces will be automatically blurred -, the location, date and time of passage, registration, vehicle category, etc.
If artificial intelligence will be used to sort the wheat from the chaff, it is indeed humans who will validate the reports, as confirmed by the office of Clément Beaune, the Minister for Transport.
The data will be immediately deleted in the absence of an infringement, the decree provides. Otherwise, the authorities (gendarmerie and police, Paris surveillance agents) may keep them for a maximum of three years, during the criminal proceedings. The CNIL has already examined the text, which should therefore not take long to be finalized and published, probably during the first half of the year.
