In many Moroccan villages, particularly in Souss-Massa, individuals, motivated by more or less laudable intentions, have started to install speed bumps in front of their houses that damage the suspension of cars (our photo ). Not to be confused with those installed by the authorities, which are adapted to vehicles, these rough installations are illegal. Intervene with the officials of the municipality or the caïdat concerned and you will win your case!
No less than 12 illegal speed bumps had been cemented to access my riad, Le Jardin aux Etoiles.
Six from the Nationale 10 Azrou-Taroudant ( our photo ) to the riad, and six from the riad towards the road that leads to Gfiffat (express roads to Taroudant)! Enough to create an obstacle course, and work for the mechanics!
Armed with my good faith and my conviction that illegal procedures are not permitted in Morocco, I intervened with the caïdat of Aïn Chaïb, of which my commune of Sidi Boumoussa is a part (our photo ).
I immediately received an attentive ear from the excellent Khalid, head of the caïdat police.
A little over a year ago, the boss decided to create a commission to resolve the problem. An effective decision, since each resident concerned was ordered to destroy these "lying gendarmes" that did not meet the standards. This is why the 12 illegal speed bumps have just disappeared (our photo ). To my great satisfaction.
