Mandatory winter equipment
In order to increase user safety by reducing the specific risks associated with driving on snowy or icy roads, it is mandatory to equip your vehicle with winter tires or to have removable anti-skid devices (chains or snow socks) throughout the Savoie department from November 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
This regulation also aims to avoid blockage situations in mountainous regions, when vehicles not equipped find themselves across lanes, unable to get out of the way, immobilizing an entire traffic axis.
