Another difficult weekend on ski resort roads

Be careful if you hit the road this weekend. With zones A and B still on vacation, Bison Futé announces another intense weekend on the roads, especially on Saturday in the east of the country, towards the winter sports resorts.

“Particularly intense traffic difficulties are expected throughout Saturday between the northern borders and on the routes connecting to the winter sports resorts in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region,” Bison Futé said in a statement.

A very complicated Saturday

This Saturday, March 2, it is classified as orange in the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region in the return direction, and in orange in the direction of departures in the west, south and north of the country. It is advisable to arrive at Ile-de-France before 2:00 p.m.

On the contrary, a large neighborhood in the northeast, from the Ardennes to Alsace, passing through Burgundy and Auvergne Rhône Alpes, is classified Red Saturday in the direction of departures.

Difficulties could also begin at the end of the afternoon on Friday, when Bison Futé recommends avoiding the A40 motorway, between Mâcon and Annemasse, from 6 to 8 p.m., and the A43, between Lyon and Modane, from 6 to 8 p.m. as does the A46 for the eastern ring road of Lyon.
