In the past year some new road signs have been incorporated to the Code de la Route and will gradually start making an appearance on a road near you. Here they are (clockwise from top left)
- Additional information on dead ends: the sign will indicate if the road provides an exit for cyclists and pedestrians to continue on their way
- Shopping or commercial centre
- Thick layers of fog or smoke
- Parking space under surveillance
There are also some tightening up on certain rule violations:
- using your telephone while driving: 3 points and €135
- driving over or crossing the emergency stop lane on an highway (autoroute): 1 point and €135
- using a radar alert system : 6 points and €1500
- breaking speed limit by 50km or more is now classed as an offence from the very first instance and liable to appear in court and fined with up to 6 points and €1500, possible confiscation of the vehicle and suspension of the license
- DIU – alcohol in excess of 0,8 g/l: 8 points (used to be six)
