Bison Fute first traffic jams for this Black Saturday traffic

SMART ONE. The first big traffic jams of the weekend of the traditional crossover of the summer are there. Bison Futé saw black on Saturday July 30 and red on Sunday.

[Mis à jour le 30 juillet 2022 à 12h47] Traffic jams are disrupting traffic on this crossover weekend. This Saturday July 30, 2022, at 12:45 p.m., the cumulative slowdowns are spread over 702 km. A lower figure than the same day last year which had seen, at the same time, traffic being slowed down over 926 km. While July residents are returning home and August residents are rushing to their vacation spots, certain motorway sectors are particularly disrupted, and therefore to be avoided. On the A10, Bison Futé lists no less than 104 km of traffic jams. The A9 and the A75 are also particularly affected with, respectively, 82 and 43 km of slowdown. Note for Parisians traveling to Bordeaux: motorists are faced with a 17.6 km traffic jam on the A10.
