[Mis à jour le 21 juillet 2022 à 12h47] Penultimate weekend of July and traffic jams in sight on the roads. For this new flow of departures on vacation from Friday July 22 to Sunday July 24, many French people will take to the road according to the first forecasts of Bison Futé. The agency responsible for traffic information sees orange in the direction of departures and even red in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes from this Friday before a dreaded Saturday: red throughout France and black in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes! It will be a little better on Sunday with green overall and orange in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in the direction of departures only. Here are the detailed forecasts day by day for this penultimate weekend of July 2022!
Orange across the whole of France, red in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, this day of Friday July 22 promises to be difficult on the roads for holidaymakers who have decided to anticipate their departure. You will have to be patient on the roads, especially in Ile de France where Bison Futé advises leaving or crossing the region before noon this Friday. For highways in particular, here is what Bison Futé recommends:
- A7 motorway: to be avoided between Lyon and Orange, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and between Salon-de-Provence and Marseille, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
- A8 motorway: to be avoided between Aix-en-Provence and Nice, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.,
- A9 motorway: avoid the A9 motorway, between Montpellier and Narbonne, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.,
