Holidays

Radars : A new system put in place in France this summer

Beware, if you are planning on spending your holidays in France, you should know that the French government is about to launch a new ‘Radar Zone’ concept which promises to be more stringent than ever. At present, the 1686 fixed radars which are placed strategically around France are announced 400 m before you get to them. Unlike in England, the boxes are grey instead of bright yellow but they are still easy to recognise from a distance.
