An online petition, launched this Monday, December 27, calls on the president of the European Community of Alsace, Frédéric Bierry, to change the signage of the A35/A4 – itself changed in favor of the opening of the Great western bypass (GCO) of Strasbourg -, considered misleading by some motorists, as we explained to you here and there.

"We, citizens, users of the M35 (ex-A35 in the crossing of the Strasbourg conurbation), opponents or not of the bypass motorway, we ask the President of the European Community of Alsace, competent since 1 January 2021, that "Strasbourg-nord" and "Strasbourg-sud" are put back on the road signs upstream and downstream of the A355 and that "Strasbourg-Ouest" is indicated via the A355 (section toll),” the petition writes.

So far, the petition has received nearly 400 signatures.

Strasbourg indicated only via the paid route

As a reminder, from now on, when you arrive in Strasbourg from the north via the A4 for example, the sign indicating Strasbourg leads to the GCO, one of the most expensive motorways in France.

The other panel does not indicate Strasbourg but only Schiltigheim. However, it does lead you to the Alsatian capital… but via the A35, the motorway which has remained free.

“Mr. Bierry attaches importance to citizen consultation”

The author of the petition is Bruno Dalpra, a member of the GCO No thank you collective, which has been opposing the GCO for years, which was put into service on December 17th.

"Mr. Bierry, the current president of the European Community of Alsace (CEA) attaches importance to citizen consultation, he will therefore be attentive to this legitimate request, in complete transparency and fairness to good road information", he notes in his petition.

Recently, the President of the CEA launched a major consultation on the exit of Alsace from the Grand Est.
