Lately it doesn’t feel good to be a motorist in Franceunless you have a unfailing patience. Indeed, angry with the government and eager to obtain better working and retirement conditionsthe farmers decided to demonstrate in their own way. Snail Operations and road blockages throughout the country have been on the agenda since the beginning of last week, much to the chagrin of drivers. The operation also plans to intensify, with other blockages expected in Île-de-France, and in particular at Rungis, which could have repercussions in other sectors. If part of the population obviously supports the actions of farmersas is the case for Karine Le Marchand, another would still like to be able to ride on the roads without spending hours in traffic jams.
Use Wazev color codes to get around blockages
If you are not used to using apps like Waze When you hit the road, maybe it’s time to get going. As our colleagues atAuto Plus in an article published on January 26, 2024, the application indeed has a very good system to avoid traffic jams : a very simple color code. Do you notice a road highlighted in yellow on the map? It’s just one slight slowdown is to be expected. If the color changes to orange, it is because the slowdown begins to become significantand if it turns red, it means that the route you intended to take is totally blocked. A good way to anticipate your journey and take a route other than the one usually used.
Another advantage? The app updates in real time, but also allows road users to send live traffic information. Ideal for warning of blockages like those of farmers. And if some motorists prefer to use Google Maps, know that the same type of system exists: it is simply less precise.
