We will have to slow down on the Toulouse ring road and the roads of Haute-Garonne this Friday to limit pollutant emissions.

Due to the hot weather conditions, the Air Quality Observatory, Atmo Occitanie, announced this Friday an episode of ozone pollution in the departments of Haute-Garonne and Hautes-Pyrénées.

Faced with these indicators, the prefect of Haute-Garonne decided to put the department into an alert procedure, with the implementation of emergency measures to limit the emission of pollutants.

This Friday, the maximum speed of automobile traffic is lowered.

🛣️ Lowering of authorized speeds:


• at 110 km/h on portions at 130 km/h
