the situation on the roads

Saturday July 9, Bison smart classified this day as red on the roads of France, and even black in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. For travelers, it is obviously a dreaded moment, yet the French have, it seems, organized themselves. “The traffic is surprisingly smooth. Since yesterday the French have been on the road, because it’s officially summer vacation and the Julyists are on their way “, explains the journalist.

Despite a rather calm situation at the moment, traffic jams are to be deplored. “At total today, this morning, 520 kilometers of traffic jams were recorded, particularly in the Rhône valley, in the Valence sector, but also on the A9 motorway, near Nîmes. Another slowdown observed this morning, it is rather on the side of the Spanish border because of the numerous fires“, describes Sonia Boujamaa. The situation should become tense in the early afternoon, so caution is advised for those who must take the road.
