The town of Nyon has come out against the plans to widen the A1 autoroute between it and Geneva.
Last month parliament gave the go ahead to build a third lane on the road in an effort to reduce congestion.
But Stéphanie Schmutz from the municipal council argues that a third lane won't help congestion and will only lead to more traffic on the road – increasing pollution and leading to more cars in the town.
She also points out that there’s no allocation for increased cycle lanes or public transport.
