Geneva's parliament has voted to push for a third lane on the A1 motorway between Le Vengeron and Coppet, using the emergency lane during rush hour
The centre-right majority backed the motion 45 to 38 on Friday, pointing to the Vaud stretch between Morges and Ecublens, where the Federal Roads Office has reported better traffic flow and no rise in accidents.
Supporters call it a fix that doesn't eat into farmland, but the left says it flouts the November 2024 national vote against motorway expansion.
