Many Ile-de-France residents are looking to leave the capital on the eve of the three-day weekend. Slowdowns are to be expected.
A ditch separates the roads of Île-de-France from the rest of the country this Thursday, November 10. On the eve of the three-day weekend, Bison Futé predicts very difficult traffic on the roads of the capital this Thursday evening, but usual in the rest of France. At 6:20 p.m., nearly 550 km of traffic jams were noted by the Ile-de-France Roads Department. A level that has risen sharply since 4 p.m., and which is nearly 200 km higher than the “exceptional” level.
Bison smart had anticipated this peak, asking motorists to leave or cross the region and major cities before 2 p.m. Good news, the situation should be less tense in the coming days, including Sunday in the direction of returns. Be careful however, Bison Futé provides for normal traffic in France and difficult in Paris.
