Driving Advices for France – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Drivers are recommended to use special winter tires on some mountain road sections in cold weather. These road sections have a special mark – “Pneus Neige”. Winter tires can be used starting from the last Saturday before November 11 and up to the last Sunday of March.
If a roundabout crossing has the “Cédez Le Passage” sign or the “Vous n'avez pas la priorité” sign, then vehicles that move along the circle have the priority. If there are no signs, the priority is given to the vehicles that are about to enter the crossing.
It’s very easy to determine the type of a road in France. There is always a corresponding letter next to the number of each of them: “A” is for highways, “N” means national roads, “D” is for departmental roads, and “C” is for utility roads. The latter have a speed limit of 30 km/h.
