Steve Last Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 A word of caution - according to our local paper here in the south at least the speed limits may be reduced in periods when there is high air pollution - e.g. on autoroutes down from 130 to 100 kph, 110 down to 80, 90 down to 70 and so on. Bouche du Rhone round Marseilles is a typical area. This happens on a pretty unpredictable basis for both times and places concerned. They may put written notices on the autoroute toll boths and have the overhead signs illuminated but the same applies on the RNs etc. where you have no such information although it may be in the local paper that day or on the radio. Tough if you just arrived and didn't know about it - the gendarmes are quoted as saying "it's our job to enforce the law not to inform people about it". Seems to have caused a bit of a local reaction. Be warned, though I don't know what you can do about it!!Steve L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
