II y a longtemps, la route qu'on voit à l'arrière-plan était la route nationale qui reliait l'océan à la Suisse (la RCEA, Route Centre Europe Atlantique) C'était une route étroite avec un fort trafic de camions et d'automobiles, très accidentogène. A cet endroit, nommé La Redoute, il y avait un restaurant routier réputé (on peut voir un des bâtiments subsistant sur la seconde photo) et cette barrière toute rouillée était utilisée pour fermer la petite départementale au trafic des camions qui l'empruntaient car c'était un bon raccourci.
Depuis, une deux fois deux voies assimilable à une autoroute et gratuite sur une très grande portion, a été construite en contrebas, et la petite nationale n'est utilisée que pour le trafic local de livraisons.

En cliquant sur la localisation, on voit bien la configuration des lieux.

A long time ago, the road in the background was the national road linking the ocean to Switzerland (the RCEA, Route Centre Europe Atlantique). It was a narrow road with heavy lorry and car traffic, and very accident-prone. At this spot, known as La Redoute, there used to be a well-known roadside restaurant (you can see one of the surviving buildings in the second photo) and this rusty barrier was used to close off the small departmental road to the lorry traffic that used it as a good shortcut.
Since then, a two-lane dual carriageway, similar to a motorway and free over a very large section, has been built below, and the small country road is only used for local delivery traffic.

Clicking on the location gives a clear idea of the layout.

Oui mais à l'époque vu l'étroitesse de la nationale, c'était dangereux avec les entrées et sorties des camions. Merci Pascal.
