The summer holidays are (almost) here, and many French people are getting ready to pack their bags to hit the road.
Bison smart alert on the risk of traffic jams.
> In terms of departures, Friday 1 July is classified as orange nationally and red in Île-de-France.
In the Paris region, traffic will be heavy towards the toll gates of the A10 and A6 motorways, where the first slowdowns could be recorded there from the end of the morning.
The ring road and the A86 and A6b motorways will also be affected by these difficulties.
