It has been summer since June 21, but summer truly begins once the school year ends. This week, children will be “finally” on vacation, but it’s mainly the season of traffic jams!
Summer is associated with vacations, but also with traffic congestion. That’s why we offer you a guide for this weekend, to identify the most advantageous times to leave for vacation, so you don’t get stuck.
A Difficult Friday
Friday morning will mark the departure of holidaymakers heading south of France for Parisians. Many drivers will hit the road, and some are not yet in their rest period. This will create a mix of vacationers and workers on the roads in the Paris region. The main issues you’re likely to encounter will be toll booths, especially on the A6 and A10. Green is forecasted for the return traffic, orange for departures, and red in Île-de-France.
Saturday is Much More Difficult
Saturday will mark the real start, unless you took Friday off to enjoy an earlier vacation. Significant difficulties are expected on the outbound side on the A7 towards the Rhône. Like the day before, the A6 and A10 will be the most traveled highways during the first weekend of the holiday departures. On the return side, no issues have been reported so far by Bison Futé.
A Calm Sunday Is Expected
For the last day of the weekend, no issues are expected; Bison Futé forecasts green for both outbound and inbound traffic.
