| Résumé anglais |
The road system is used here to support an interrogation on the relationship between networks and territory. A first approach concentrates on the legal classification of roads, making it possible to situate each level of road within its territorial context, with reference to the reasons why the road was built and the principles of its development. This analysis shows that, whereas national highways and the main thoroughfares in each département do indeed constitute networks, this does not hold for community-level roads, whose functions are primarily internal with respect to neighborhoods, and may be represented on the scale of their territory of reference as groups of disjointed segments. A second, complementary approach, consists in giving more emphasis to a particular territory (built-up areas) in order to demonstrate how the roads are structured. The imbrication of different levels of roads then appears as a rule, resulting in high connectivity to the network. Nonetheless, the mixed nature of the traffic which is produced creates disfunctions, and this slowly leads to the setting up of "limited imbrication." Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
