Despite the fact that traffic safety recommends leaving the relevant sections until 80 km/h for safety reasons, departments can decide whether or not to increase the speed.
Soon there will be no more departments

Others, like Yonne, will increase the number of roads 90 km/h. The Drivers’ Protective League suggests the department will move from 411 km has 1502 km next November 7.
But be careful, if it seems obvious, it is always worth remembering that not all roads are in Var to which they return 90 km/h. Be careful behind the wheel to avoid unpleasant surprises.
