Winter equipment obligation in mountain areas from November 1

From November 1, winter tires or chains become mandatory in certain municipalities in the mountainous areas of Occitania, while the Mountain Law applies in 34 departments. On October 28 and 29, the prefectures of Var, Isère, Haute-Savoie and Alsace in turn recall winter equipment obligations in the affected municipalities. On October 30, auto centers in Loire and Haute-Loire see an influx of customers, and all-season tires are increasingly chosen in mid-mountain areas. On November 2, tire centers are overwhelmed, with three to four hours of waiting, since the obligation came into effect.
