La politique de sécurité routière peut-elle être rendue ? acceptable ? pour tous ? L’exemple de l’automatisation du contr?le du respect des limitations de vitesse en France

摘要

The social acceptance of an automated speed enforcement system may be understood throughtwo hypotheses. The first one is that we cannot assess a program only by a measure of itsimpact on driver behaviour or by a cost-benefit analysis. We also need to know how such aninnovation has been received – "accepted" being the term we shall use here – by those it isintended for. The second one is that a good acceptation by public opinion isn’t sufficient toinsure its efficiency and durability. The acceptability of professionals and elected people who arein charge of implementing this program is also relevant. In both cases, public and professionalacceptability is the result or the product of a political and/or administrative process oflegitimation of action by the authorities. These two hypotheses will allow us to answer to onequestion: under what conditions road safety policy may be “acceptable” for all? In France, sucha question is becoming central, in 2011, after mobilization initiate by a change in automatedspeed camera system.
