Axes saturated in particular on the coasts
For this first weekend in August, the main black dots are as usual on the A7, towards the Mediterranean, with 120 km of traffic jams. Traffic was even more slowed down by the occurrence of two accidents. 55 km of slowdowns were noted on the A9, also towards the Mediterranean, and 110 km on the A10, leading to the Atlantic coast.
The A71, which crosses the Massif Central, is also strongly impacted, with 30 km of traffic jams, after an accident early in the morning which blocked traffic. In Île-de-France, Bison Futé provides for a densification of traffic on the A10 and A6 motorways “as well as on the axes which converge” as the A86 and the A6B.
In the middle of the day, the traffic time on the A7 between the south of Lyon and Orange (Vaucluse) was 2:35 instead of 1:35 in normal times, and 3:25 instead of 1:40 enters the A9 between Orange and Narbonne, according to the X account of Vinci Autoroutes.
The alpine tunnels are particularly congestioned, with 1h45 waiting time at the Mont-Blanc tunnel towards Italy and important slowdowns in the Fréjus tunnel, also towards Italy, on the A43.
