Compulsory special equipments on all the roads of Savoie

• New rules on winter equipments 

The aim of these new rules is to improve the safety of all road users in the winter (icy roads or snow-covered roads). These rules also aim at limiting traffic jams or ensuring that the roads in mountainous areas are not blocked, especially in a place like Savoie. These situations may occur when the holiday traffic is heavy (at weekends) or when it snows for days on end.

Winter obligation:

From November 1^st 2021 onwards, the special equipments are compulsory all winter long in some mountainous areas (48 French departments are concerned). This order (number 2020-1624 published in Journal Officiel on October 18^th 2020) will apply until March 31^st.

From November 1^st to March 31^st, every year, your car will have to be equipped with these special equipments on all the trunk roads located in Savoie.

This obligation concerns Savoie, which is a French Department and on a larger scale some towns or villages located in the French mountains (The Alps, Corsica, The Massif Central, the Jura, the Pyrenees, and the Vosges).
