The traffic on Bison Futé website
|
The Traffic Now map displays on the National Highway System:
* all events impacting traffic on main roads (accidents, traffic jams, works, closed roads, etc.);
* The real-time traffic situation at the major urban centers, developed from counting stations located under pavements. They allow to count in real time the number of cars passing at a specific point.
Traffic card information is listed using the following color code: green = fluid, orange = dense traffic, red = saturated traffic,
The cities concerned are Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lille, Marseille, Paris-Ile-de-France, Rennes, Lyon, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Metz, Nancy, St. Etienne, Rouen, Limoges, Brive, Caen, Toulouse and Nantes.
Be aware of the forecast events that could disrupt traffic in the coming days (especially the planned construction sites and road closures). The consultation can be done for different periods: "tomorrow" or in "the next 7 days"
You can also see traffic forecasts for the whole year thanks to the Bison Futé calendar, as well as detailed forecasts 15 days before a colorful weekend: What will be the overall level of congestion expected compared to "usual" traffic?
The "Traffic Maps" tab allows direct and large-format access to the traffic status of major cities.
The pages "Now", "Tomorrow" and "Next 7 days" all articulate in the same way. On the whole page, the map has 6 zoom levels :
