A new weekend of crossover is coming on the roads, with difficult traffic to be expected from this Friday, April 26.

Bison Futé announces a"difficult traffic" from this Friday April 26 in the afternoon in the direction of returns in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is advisable to avoid the A7 motorway between Orange and Lyon, from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the A75 motorway between Massiac and Clermont-Ferrand, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

"In the context of spring break, vacationers take their time to leave and do not return at the last minute. This dispersion in time and space makes it possible to limit congestion phenomena on the roads", details Bison Futé. Saturday and Sunday, the traffic conditions will be fluid, with no particular problems to report.

Larger disruptions expected in May

On the other hand, the forecasts for next weekend will be drastically different, where red vigilance should be displayed in Île-de-France. The situation will become even more complicated the following week, which will see many French people go on leave on May 8, then Ascension Thursday.
