The state is showing the way to guidance apps.
Multimodal transport applications and sites, at the forefront of which are Waze, Google Maps, Moovit, Mappy or Bonjour RATP, now have the obligation to "promote" the "itinerary proposals with the lowest impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
As soon as a user tries to plan a trip, the result should display an estimate of the pollution caused, with the quantities of greenhouse gases and air pollutants emitted by the various suggested modes of transport.
These provisions, voted in August 2021, were published in a decree in the Official Journal on August 3.
Load shedding routes
For any trip including a passage on a road at 110 km/h or more, these applications will also have to offer alternatives allowing a reduction in speed of 20 km/h, and therefore less emissions.
As for the secondary roads, which they frequently offer to the chagrin of local residents, these applications will now have to accompany them with relief routes “avoiding the massive use of secondary roads not intended for intensive traffic”.
Unless these detours save more than 10% of the remaining travel time, or there is work or an accident on the main track.
Finally, from December, all sites and applications of this type must regularly broadcast awareness messages such as "For short journeys, favor walking or cycling" or "Going from 130 to 110 km/h on the motorway reduced your consumption by 20%.
