Driving Tips in France
France has one of Europe's most extensive road networks, offering excellent connections to neighbouring countries in western Europe. Motorways are mostly toll roads (autoroutes a peage), which are always marked with an 'A'. Toll roads can be expensive over long distances but they provide the fastest, most efficient routes. 'N' roads (routes nationales) and 'D' roads (routes departementales) are usually more spacious and less crowded than the motorways. : A valid driving licence, passport/ID and a valid credit card.
You drive: On the right so remember to give away traffic from your left when using roundabouts.
Speed limit: Motorway 130km/h(80mph), open roads 90km/h(55mph), within city limits 50km/h(31mph).When raining, the speed limit is reduced by 10 km/h(6mph).
About fuel:All ratings of unleaded petrol and diesel are available. As in the UK, LPG is only available at some stations. Leaded no longer exists. The cost is approximately the same as in the UK, but diesel is approximately 25% cheaper. Supermarkets outside main towns sell the cheapest fuel in France.Parking rules: When parking, keep an eye out for zones marked out on the road surface with the word 'Payant'.This is a pay area and you must purchase a ticket. If you see a road marked with an 'X', the parking space is for loading and unloading only.
Winter tyres:Are recommended but not obligatory (as of January 2008). Snow chains are advised to be carried in mountainous regions, especially the Alps, during winter season..
