In 2023, 26 people lost their lives on Luxembourg roads; in 2022, a further 36 people were killed in road accidents. Against this backdrop, the Commission for Mobility of the Municipality of Mamer had organised an evening debate on road safety and how everyone can help to improve it.
Luc Lamborelle, from the Technical Investigation Administration, explained the work of this public body, which analyses the technical causes of accidents and makes recommendations to avoid similar incidents in the future.
Isabelle Medinger of the Sécurité routière, spoke about the awareness and prevention campaigns aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of the road, as well as the data analysis that Sécurité routière carries out on the basis of statistics in order to identify risk areas.
Michaël Federici of the Association des Victimes de la Route (AVR) addressed the topic from the point of view of road accident victims and their families, and presented the support services offered by the association. Finally, a person who was unintentionally involved in a road accident shared its experiences.
Mayor Luc Feller, accompanied by Alderman Roger Negri and Alderwoman Francine Closener, emphasised in his introduction at the start of the evening that road safety is an important issue for the municipality. This commitment is reflected in the consistent development of the multimodal concept, as well as in ongoing changes to the municipal traffic regulations to improve safety both on and off the road.
