Traffic jams: nearly 400 km of traffic jams in Paris and the Ile-de-France region this Monday, March 10

Traffic is particularly difficult this Tuesday, March 10, 2025 in Paris and the Île-de-France region, with nearly 400 kilometers of cumulative traffic jams recorded at 8:00 am. Here's an update.

Traffic was severely disrupted this Monday, March 10, 2025 in the Paris region, with a peak of 380 kilometers of traffic jams recorded at 8am. The cause: the return of rain after a sunny week, and an accident on the outer Francilienne near Villepinte.

A tense morning on Paris Region's roads

After several days of clement weather, the rain has returned to Paris and the Île-de-France region, complicating motorists' journeys. According to Sytadin, traffic is particularly heavy, well above the usual average of 250 kilometers of traffic jams.

An accident involving two light vehicles on the outer Francilienne near Villepinte added to the difficulties. One lane was neutralized, while two others remained accessible, causing a severe slowdown in the area.

Which roads are affected?

The main routes affected by these traffic jams include :

A1: noticeable slowdowns towards Paris.
A6: heavy traffic in both directions, particularly on the outskirts of the capital.
A13: heavy congestion towards Paris.
Boulevard Périphérique: slowdowns all along the ring road, with particularly congested areas to the east and south.
A86: significant traffic jams, particularly on the western and southern sections.
N 104: traffic severely disrupted.

Traffic already complicated last week

The return from vacation had already led to difficult traffic conditions the week before. This latest episode of traffic congestion is a reminder of the importance of planning ahead, especially in adverse weather conditions.
