The authorities in France intend to reduce risks for road users on the country’s new highways. Research reveals that significant numbers of accidents occur when drivers fall asleep at the wheel. Plans to deal with this safety problem include installing rumble strips that would alert drivers should they stray from each lane. Around a third of fatal accidents on French highways are attributable to drivers falling asleep at the wheel, according to official data.
