The regulations consist of using suitable tires to go into mountainous areas. Motorists must therefore bringequipment marked 3PMSF. You will easily recognize them by the mountain and snowflake design.
Certain sections of road will also change speed limits from this November. The system had already been in force on the outskirts of Paris for some time. But this could extend on the A86 for 5km. Motorists will see the limitation go from 90 km/h to 70 km/h. Please note that the system will be in effect for a one-year trial. If it is conclusive, road authorities may consider expanding its application.

Rising expenses to see
Motorists who drive certain types of car could have additional expenses starting this November. This is particularly the case of electric vehicles that come from China. This new regulation applies throughout Europe, including France where the tax is increasing. Rates vary depending on the subsidies available to manufacturers.
For the SAIC group for example, the surcharge will be 35.3%. Enough to discourage motorists who want to acquire this type of car. For manufacturers Geely and BYD, the tax is 18.8% and 17% respectively. The least significant will be 7.8% for Gigafactory cars. This measure, however, continues to be debated among other European countries.
From this month of November, motorists should also expect a purchase restriction for fuel. The departments of Sarthe and Alpes-Maritimes in particular do not authorize retail purchases. A measure which serves to maintain stocks and avoid inconveniences during the celebration of Halloween.
Other measures for motorists
From November 15, motorists will see a traffic disruption. This is due to the mobilizations of farmers' unions. Drivers must therefore be careful not to suffer from this in the weeks to come!
Knowing all of these changes for the month of November allows motorists to better prepare. Especially since they must face reforms in other areas of daily life in the months to come. Being prepared therefore helps reduce inconvenience!
