Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : The first stage of the 2026 Tour de Luxembourg arrived in Luxembourg City on 16 September at around 5:45 p.m., precisely at a time when many people were travelling home from work. The road closures and diversions put in place that day showed that an event of this scale needs to be better coordinated with everyday traffic. This petition therefore calls for the following measures for future editions of the Skoda Tour de Luxembourg and other major events: * finishes and major road closures should, as far as possible, be avoided during peak hours; * clear and simple diversion routes should be planned in advance; * the public should be informed sufficiently early and clearly about road closures and the routes that remain accessible; * road closures and diversions should be reported as quickly as possible to navigation apps and other traffic information services; * emergency services, home care services and other essential services must be able to circulate at all times; * major events should only be authorised where effective traffic management can be guaranteed; * organisers should, as far as possible, bear the additional costs directly caused by the event, in particular those relating to police presence, municipal officers, signage and traffic management.

OBJECT : To introduce a national framework allowing flexibility to parents to take up to 10 justified days of school absence (additionally to school holidays) per school year for family, cultural or travel-related reasons, subject to prior written notification to the school, without requiring its approval, and limited to a maximum of 3 consecutive school days per absence, in order to minimise disruption to children's education.

OBJECT : L'objectif de cette pétition est d'inviter la Chambre des Députés et le Gouvernement à : * Développer un module pédagogique dédié au code de la route et à la sécurité routière dans les programmes des lycées ; * Offrir aux élèves la possibilité de passer l'examen théorique officiel du code de la route directement au sein de leur établissement scolaire ou dans le cadre de leur scolarité.
