Increased Police Measures Planned for August 15 Holiday Weekend

Authorities are deploying increased security and traffic enforcement measures to prevent crime and ensure public safety during the peak holiday travel period.

  • Police in France will increase security and traffic measures during the three-day holiday period from Friday to Sunday to ensure public safety in areas likely to attract large crowds.
  • Saturday, August 15th, marks the Christian festival of Assumption, a public holiday in France that typically serves as a peak travel period for residents and holidaymakers.
  • Road watchdog Bison Fut warns of heavy congestion on routes toward the Mediterranean, from Bordeaux via Toulouse, and in the Auvergne-Rh Alpes region throughout the weekend and into Monday.
  • Police will conduct regular traffic checks for speeding, drink and drug driving, and dangerous overtaking, while additional motorised patrols in urban and rural areas target property offences during the busy period.
  • Heavy traffic is expected to persist across the weekend and into Monday, while cabin crew labour disputes may further complicate travel plans for holidaymakers during the extended period.
