01/11/2024: Obligations to equip vehicles in winter in mountainous areas

From November 1, 2024, "winter" tires must be identified by the presence of the "alpine symbol" and one of the "M+S", "M.S" or "M&S" markings. This corresponds to the 3PMFS marking.

As a reminder, vehicles must be fitted with winter tires or carry snow chains or socks in their trunks to equip two-wheel drive vehicles from November1 to March 31 in mountainous areas listed by prefectural decree.
