Languedoc Roussillon Road Network and Travel

If you want to visit as much as you can in this region so rich in culture and history, the car is the best means of transport in Languedoc-Rousillon. The region is served by three main motorways:

• A 61 connects Toulouse with Carcassonne and Narbonne where it meets the A9 motorway;
• A 9 runs along the Mediterranean coast and connects Barcelona with Lyon, passing by Perpignan, Narbonne, Beziers, Montpellier, and Nimes;
• A 75 connects Paris with the Mediterranean coast reaching Montpellier and near Beziers.

Roads are safe but if you are traveling in the Summer, you will surely come across many cars on the road. You can reduce your waiting time on busy roads and highways if you check traffic conditions on www.bison-fute.equipement.gouv.fr. The Regional Centre of Information and Coordination of Roads will inform the traveler of accidents, road work, weather conditions impairing driving. You can also tune Radio Traffic station on 107.7 for updates while driving.
