The “Autoroute du Soleil” is one of France’s most iconic highways. For many, the A7 evokes both the promise of holidays and the nightmare of heavy traffic. On average, 75,000 vehicles use it daily, but in summer that number can rise to nearly 200,000. Ensuring safety and smooth flow is a constant challenge.
Road crews maintain the infrastructure under intense pressure, while supervisors monitor traffic in real time to prevent congestion. Patrols and recovery teams assist drivers in critical situations. The priority is clear: the A7 must never stop. Through innovative worksites, night operations, and smart technologies, this vital artery keeps moving, revealing its secrets over the course of a summer.
