CONT

Une route peut être plus dangereuse qu'une autre et ses caractéristiques déterminent un risque au kilomètre parcouru. Si de nombreux accidents surviennent sur une zone limitée (intersection, courbe, angle mort...), cette partie de l'infrastructure est qualifiée de «point noir».

CONT

«Dans un lieu aussi emblématique [qu'est le tunnel du Mont-Blanc], ce type d'aménagements [galerie de ventilation] a minima n'est pas acceptable», estime l'élu [le député Christian Kert (UDF), auteur d'un rapport sur la sécurité des tunnels routiers et ferroviaires français], qui relève à son tour un autre point noir : le tunnel du col de Tende.

point noir : terme proposé par l'Association mondiale de la Route.
