Here’s a two-minute video clip from around 7 a.m. on June 19, 2024. It’s a perfect example of what we experience on Chemin de la Butte-aux-Renards, where trucks pass constantly for 12 hours a day or more.

People are so used to there being no police presence that they don’t even slow down for the radar sign.

It has been more than seven months that the radar speed sign has been in this state on Chemin de la Butte-aux-Renards. The city of Varennes takes no responsibility for the two installed devices.
