Lyon, June 23, 2026 – Three weeks after the launch of its collaborative platform “Ça bloque ? On agit !” (It’s blocked? Let’s act!), the Métropole de Lyon has released initial participation figures. More than 1,700 individuals have reported road-related issues, highlighting concerns about mobility in the region.
Platform Launched to Address Mobility Crisis
The Métropole de Lyon officially launched the platform on June 9, following a major press conference outlining its “action plan” to tackle what Véronique Sarselli described as the “mobility crisis.” On Monday, June 22, on the sidelines of the metropolitan council meeting, the authority presented the first statistics from the “Ça bloque ? On agit !” platform.
The platform, which will remain open until July 31, aims to allow all residents of Greater Lyon to report “any problem observed on the road network related to recent developments.” Since early June, 11,000 people have visited the site. The primary concerns expressed by users relate to conflicts between road users (26.7%) and traffic jams (23.1%).
Security a Major Concern, Lyon Accounts for 68% of Reports
“Security appears to be a major issue, with 78.2% of reports mentioning a security problem,” stated the Métropole de Lyon in its press release. The city of Lyon accounts for the majority of these reports, with 68.4% of all contributions. Specifically, the 3rd and 8th arrondissements are most affected, with 233 and 174 contributions respectively.
The contributions also highlight difficulties faced by various road users: motorists (69.7%), cyclists (61.4%), and pedestrians (42.9%). These figures underscore the diverse challenges within the urban mobility landscape.
Contributions to Inform Future Action Plan
“The contributions collected will feed into the future metropolitan mapping of blocking points and will contribute to the prioritization of corrective actions,” explained the Métropole de Lyon. The authority also affirmed that initial actions have already been taken, including “the regulation of certain intersections and axes identified as particularly congested, as well as the analysis of access to city center parking lots.”
During the metropolitan council meeting on Monday, June 22, Véronique Sarselli also presented her “action plan to rebalance travel and restore the sharing of public space.” This comprehensive plan, drawing on feedback from residents, municipalities, professionals, and users, aims to “allow for a gradual adaptation of developments when their functioning or effects require adjustments.”
An “express audit” is also to be conducted internally within the authority to establish “before summer” a map of the main blocking points in the agglomeration.
