Protesters in France have put more than half of the country’s speed cameras out of action, according to the country’s authorities.
Interior minister Christophe Castaner said that almost 60% of France’s 3,200 cameras have been affected, the BBC reports.
Castaner said that the cameras had been “neutralised, attacked, or destroyed” by ‘yellow vest’ protesters in a move which threatened road safety.

Toll roads have also been targets of protesters’ anger as the ‘gilet jaunes’ express dissatisfaction with the rising cost of road travel.
