at 80 km/h on roads where the speed is limited to 90 km/h;
at 70 km/h on roads where the speed is limited to 80 km/h
-These measures apply from 8 p.m. this Thursday until Friday, January 10 at 11 a.m. They may be renewed depending on the evolution of the weather situation.
Prefect Fanny ANOR invites Axonais to exercise the greatest caution if they have to take the road in poor conditions and would like to remind them of the following recommendations:
