The advice of Infos Dijon for this weekend

If you have to drive only in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté this weekend, we absolutely advise you to avoid the motorways in our region, whether it is the A6 Autoroute du Soleil, the A31 Loraine Bourgogne, the A36 the Comtoise and the A39 the Green motorway. For more serenity and more fluidity in traffic, we advise you to take the departmental roads of Côte-d’Or, Jura and Saône et Loire.

Forecast August and September 2023
According to Bison Futé forecasts, Saturday August 12 will be ROUGE in the direction of departures. Then a large traffic is looming in the direction of returns with a flag ROUGE for Saturdays August 19 and 26. Saturday September 2 always in the direction of return will be in ORANGE.
Advice from Infos Dijon for a serene trip
– Do not consume alcohol and narcotics while driving to keep good reflexes
– Respect safety distances
– Do not use your smartphone while driving
– Taking a break every two hours is recommended
– On the highway you drive on the right
– Leave the emergency lane free to facilitate the passage of any rescuers
– Turn signals are not options

– Keep smiling, you’re on vacation. No stress.
