Some advice for driving in winter
Make sure that you have snow tires or chains adapted for your vehicle in case of need. Put on your dipped headlights, reduce your speed, keep a safe distance and break gently. Give priority to snowploughs and drive behind them; do not overtake. We wish to remind you that overtaking snow removal vehicles on the road is strictly prohibited.
Traffic conditions: www.puy-de-dome.fr
The roads are cleared quickly, but your vehicle must be equipped with winter tires or you must have chains in your trunk from November 1 to March 31.
