Help us

to respect the environment FOR OVER TEN YEARS THE TOUR DE FRANCE HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTING MEASURES TO REDUCE ITS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. After the communities, The Agency for the sustainable development (ARPE Midi-Pyrénées), The Connexions and the Assembly of French Departments (ADF), you too can play a major role in our campaign. Our priorities: the reduction of CO2 emissions; the management and recycling of waste.

I AM A RIDER:

I will use the bins positioned at the start and end of the feed zones in which to throw my rubbish during the race (water bottles and wrappers); outside of the feed zone I will put my rubbish in my pockets.

HELP US TO RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT

I RECYCLE

8

I AM PART OF THE RACE CONVOY:

I will switch off my engine if I am stationary for more than one minute; I will try to carpool whenever possible; I will try to drive in a more environmentally friendly manner by adapting my speed (less pollution, less fuel consumption); I will use the recycling bins put at my disposal (in the village, the technical zone, the finish area…). Whenever there are no bins, I will keep the rubbish to throw away later. I AM PART OF THE ADVERTISING CARAVAN:

ALL NON-RECYCLABLE WASTE

CANS, BOTTLES, NEWSPAPERS

CUPS PROHIBITED

I will dispose of all packaging (cardboard boxes, plastic wrapping) in the skips situated in the advertising Caravan parking areas. Littering will not be tolerated; I will ask the public to keep hold of any free gifts from the advertising Caravan.

IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT!

Tour

The of responsible driving Always wear a seat belt: seat belts are mandatory for occupants in both the front and back seats of the vehicle. Switch on your lights: low-beam headlights are required at all times (even if your vehicle is equipped with daytime running lights).

Check your speed: 30 kph or 50 kph max in built-up areas, dependent on signage 50 kph max on stretches of road where there are large numbers of spectators 80 kph max outside built-up areas, even if there are few members of public.

LIGATORY B O

PR

O HI BIT E D

U-turns: driving in the wrong direction on the course is strictly prohibited, even if only for a short distance.

SANCTIONS All cases of rule breaking (excessive speed, mobile telephone use, etc.) will be subject to sanctions ranging from a warning to temporary exclusion from the race, or more severe punishment in serious or repeat cases. A refusal to co-operate with the checks will result in the immediate removal of the vehicle from the race, and a summons to the Security Commission for the driver. The sanctions taken within the race are in no way a replacement for each driver’s CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILTY in the case of an accident.

THE TOUR OF RESPONSIBLE DRIVING

Alcohol and drugs: - zero alcohol limit: 0,0g/litre of blood - alcohol and cannabis uptake tests to be carried out during the event.

Mobile telephones: mobile phone use while driving is prohibited.
