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 : La présente pétition demande l'introduction, dans le Code de la route luxembourgeois, d'un cadre légal clair autorisant les conducteurs de deux-roues motorisés à circuler entre les files de véhicules lorsque la circulation est fortement ralentie ou complètement arrêtée. Cette pratique devrait être soumise à des conditions strictes afin de garantir la sécurité de tous les usagers de la route, notamment : * circuler uniquement entre les deux files situées le plus à gauche ; * respecter une vitesse maximale de 30 km/h lorsque les véhicules sont à l'arrêt ou fortement ralentis ; * ne pas dépasser de plus de 20 km/h la vitesse des autres véhicules ; * reprendre sa place dans une voie dès que la circulation redevient fluide ; * interdire l'utilisation de la bande d'arrêt d'urgence, des pistes cyclables et des voies réservées ; * effectuer la manoeuvre avec prudence et en maintenant une distance de sécurité suffisante.

OBJECT : Introduce legislation requiring employers in Luxembourg to provide clear, specific and objective justifications for every mandatory language requirement included in a job advertisement. The legislation should establish the following obligations: Job-related justification: Each mandatory language requirement must be justified by specific professional duties, such as communication with clients, colleagues, public authorities or other stakeholders. Proportional proficiency levels: Employers must justify not only the language required but also the requested proficiency level, using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Distinction between essential and desirable skills: Languages that are useful but not essential for performing the job must be identified as desirable rather than mandatory. Transparent job advertisements: Justifications must be included directly in job descriptions, allowing applicants to understand why the specified language skills are necessary. Prevention of arbitrary requirements: Language requirements must be proportionate to the actual responsibilities of the position and must not create unjustified barriers to employment. Oversight and enforcement: Competent authorities must be empowered to examine potentially unjustified language requirements and impose proportionate sanctions for non-compliance.
