Un week-end chargé pour ce qui est des retours sur les routes de France. Voici les prévisions Bison Futé pour le week-end.

The end of the holidays is approaching, which means that a large number of motorists will be hitting the road this weekend. On the way back, traffic is expected to be particularly difficult on the way back, Bison Futé sees red. Check out the forecast.

Saturday

Be careful if you're driving today. "The day is classified as red at the national level", the site warns. “Significant difficulties are expected in the South-East quarter (mainly the A7, A9 and A75 motorways), and on the western side (A63, A10 and N165)”, we can read.

Departure direction, return direction, what are we talking about ?

Departure direction and return direction, understanding these expressions is essential to properly interpret traffic forecasts.

Bison fut&eacute talks about the direction of departures with regard to journeys from Paris to the regional metropolises, and from the latter towards the coasts in the summer and the ski resorts in the winter.

Logically, the return direction is that which leaves the coasts in the summer and the ski resorts in the winter towards the regional metropolises, and from the latter towards the capital.

Disruptions are also expected in Île-de-France with slowdowns on the A10 motorway and the A6 motorway from the end of the morning.

As for the departure direction, traffic jams will be concentrated in the Paris region but also in the south-eastern quarter of the country. Please note that one lane remains reserved for the Paralympic Games in the capital and that traffic will be heavy until late in the evening.

Sunday

For the last day of the weekend, traffic should be smoother than the day before, even if traffic remains heavy in the return direction. “Slowdowns should begin from mid-morning, mainly on the A10, A9 and A75 motorways. The A7 motorway is expected to be very congested from early morning until early evening", indicates Bison Futé.

As for the Paris region, "the A10, A6 and A13 motorways will concentrate these difficulties, between early afternoon and late evening".

As for Monday, green will return at the national level in both directions, announces Bison Futé, except for the returns around Paris.
