Les usagers vuln\u00e9rables de la route auraient tout int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e0 redoubler de prudence lors du passage \u00e0 l'heure d'\u00e9t\u00e9. En raison de la visibilit\u00e9 r\u00e9duite, le nombre d'accidents graves impliquant des pi\u00e9tons augmente de 73% lorsque l'heure est recul\u00e9e. C'est ce qui ressort d'une analyse statistique annuelle r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par l'Institut Vias.<\/p>\n
L'organisation invite donc les conducteurs \u00e0 adapter leur comportement et, surtout, \u00e0 toujours ralentir \u00e0 l'approche des passages pi\u00e9tons.<\/p>\n
Dans la nuit de samedi \u00e0 dimanche, nous repasserons \u00e0 l'heure d'hiver, ce qui signifie qu'il fera nuit une heure plus t\u00f4t. Le recul de l'heure \u2013 \u00e0 3 h du matin, l'heure sera recul\u00e9e d'une heure pour passer \u00e0 2 h du matin dans tous les \u00c9tats membres de l'UE \u2013 a \u00e9galement des cons\u00e9quences pour les usagers vuln\u00e9rables de la route, en particulier les pi\u00e9tons.<\/p>\n
D'octobre \u00e0 novembre, le nombre d'accidents impliquant des pi\u00e9tons pendant l'heure de pointe du soir augmente de 39%, selon Vias. Le nombre d'accidents ayant entra\u00een\u00e9 au moins un bless\u00e9 grave ou un d\u00e9c\u00e8s augmente m\u00eame de 73%.<\/p>\n
Non seulement le nombre d'accidents a augment\u00e9, mais ceux-ci sont \u00e9galement plus graves. \u201c Par exemple, nous avons enregistr\u00e9 109 d\u00e9c\u00e8s et bless\u00e9s graves pour 1 000 accidents avec bless\u00e9s en octobre, contre 136 d\u00e9c\u00e8s et bless\u00e9s graves pour 1 000 accidents apr\u00e8s le changement intervenu en novembre (2016-2025). \u201d<\/p>\n
Au cours des dix derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, on a d\u00e9nombr\u00e9 au total 181 pi\u00e9tons tu\u00e9s ou gravement bless\u00e9s pendant l'heure de pointe du soir au mois de novembre. Cela repr\u00e9sente une moyenne de 18 par an.<\/p>\n
En novembre, on recense \u00e9galement environ quatre fois plus d'accidents impliquant des cyclistes au cr\u00e9puscule et \u00e0 l'aube qu'en juin, alors m\u00eame que les cyclistes sont plus nombreux sur les routes au printemps qu'\u00e0 l'automne.<\/p>\n
En effet, les trajets habituellement effectu\u00e9s de jour sont d\u00e9sormais parcourus au cr\u00e9puscule ou dans l'obscurit\u00e9. Certains conducteurs ne voient pas les pi\u00e9tons et\/ou les cyclistes et freinent trop tard, voire pas du tout.<\/p>\n
Vias invite donc les conducteurs \u00e0 adapter leur comportement et, surtout, \u00e0 toujours ralentir \u00e0 l'approche des passages pi\u00e9tons.<\/p>\n
Il est conseill\u00e9 aux pi\u00e9tons de regarder des deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s \u00e0 plusieurs reprises avant de traverser, d'emprunter les passages pi\u00e9tons lorsqu'ils sont disponibles et visibles, et de porter des v\u00eatements fluorescents et r\u00e9fl\u00e9chissants. En effet, les v\u00eatements r\u00e9fl\u00e9chissants vous rendent visible jusqu'\u00e0 150 m\u00e8tres de distance. Si vous portez des v\u00eatements sombres, les conducteurs ne peuvent vous voir qu'\u00e0 partir de 20 m\u00e8tres.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Due to reduced visibility, the number of serious pedestrian accidents increases by 73% when the clock is set back. This is according to an annual statistical analysis by the Vias Institute. The organization is therefore calling on drivers to adjust their behavior and, above all, to always slow down near crosswalks.
