Lots of motorists expected on the roads this weekend.
Holidaymakers from zone A (Besançon, Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Dijon, Grenoble, Limoges, Lyon, Poitiers) will join holidaymakers from zone C (Île-de-France, Montpellier, Toulouse) from this Friday evening.
The strike of SNCF controllers announced by the unions will complicate the situation.
If
“the objective is to ensure one in two TGVs runs”
and
“make as many trains leave as possible in the snow”
according to the CEO of SNCF Voyageurs, many French people should opt for the car to reach the ski resorts .
This
Friday
, February 16, is thus classified green at the national level in the direction of departures, but orange in Île-de-France, Burgundy and the East.
“The first slowdowns will appear at the end of the morning on the A6 motorway between Wissous and Chilly-Mazarin”
, which
“will gradually transform into traffic difficulties from the beginning of the afternoon mainly on the A6B, A86 and A6 motorways »
, warns Smart Bison.
“Peak traffic should be reached towards the end of the afternoon,”
adds the traffic information service.
Traffic will remain heavy on the A6 motorway until late evening.
Bison futé therefore advises
“leaving or crossing Île-de-France before 2 p.m.”.
In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, difficulties are expected on the A6, and on the A4 in the Grand Est.
On the other hand, no disturbance is to be expected in the direction of returns, whatever the axis.
