The aim is to improve road safety during the winter months, when snow and ice are commonplace. Here&#8217;s an overview of the main changes and issues involved.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udccc What are the new obligations?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Retarding equipment<\/strong>: From now on, all vehicles in mountainous areas must be fitted with either winter tires or snow chains. This applies particularly to mountain departments where weather conditions can be uncertain. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Geographical zones<\/strong>: Certain geographical zones are designated as &#8220;restricted traffic zones&#8221;. Drivers should check whether their route passes through these zones and comply with the new standards. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance checks<\/strong>: Law enforcement agencies will be able to carry out checks to ensure that vehicles comply with the new standards. In the event of non-compliance, penalties may be applied. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2744\ufe0f Why are these changes necessary?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many reasons for these measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Road safety<\/strong>: Winter tires offer better grip and shorter braking distances in cold conditions. This helps reduce the number of accidents on icy or snow-covered roads. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Driver preparation<\/strong>: By imposing this equipment, legislation encourages drivers to prepare adequately for winter journeys, thus reducing incidents due to unforeseen weather conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smoother traffic flow<\/strong>: More equipped vehicles keep traffic flowing, even in adverse weather conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf0d Which areas are concerned?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The measure applies to the following <strong>French mountain ranges<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83c\udfd4 <strong>Alps<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udfd4 <strong>Massif Central<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udfd4 <strong>Jura<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udfd4 <strong>Vosges<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udfd4 <strong>Pyrenees<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The communes concerned are designated by the <strong>departmental prefectures<\/strong> and indicated by <strong>new signs<\/strong>:<br><strong>&#8220;B26 &#8211; Chains or winter tires obligatory&#8221;<\/strong> at the entrance to the zones, and <strong>&#8220;End of obligation&#8221;<\/strong> at their exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2139\ufe0f The full list of communes concerned is available on prefecture websites or on the official road safety website.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f What equipment is mandatory?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will need to <strong>equip your vehicle with one of the following devices<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Winter tires<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>3PMSF<\/strong> (3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake) marking mandatory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or <strong>M+S<\/strong> (Mud and Snow) tires until <strong>November 2024<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Removable anti-skid devices<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Snow chains (for at least <strong>2-wheel drive<\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or approved <strong>snow socks<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u26a0\ufe0f 4-season tires are not always sufficient.
