This Friday, November 22, the whole of theParis region was once again placed under a vigilance orange for snow and freezing rain, a rare situation at this time of year. This is causing major traffic problems throughout the Paris region, particularly in Yvelines, Essonne, Val d'Oise and Seine-et-Marne.
Against this backdrop, the Yvelines prefecture has announced that school transport will be suspended this Friday, November 22, as a precautionary measure due to the risk of frost and ice.
This measure also applies to Essonne, where weather forecasts indicate a drop in night-time temperatures and further snowfall expected on Friday morning.
In Seine-et-Marne, not only school transport, but also certain bus routes will not be operating this Friday.
The Val-d'Oise prefecture has also decided to suspend school transport on Friday "on the entire road network of the Val-d'Oise department", according to the order issued by prefect Philippe Court.
At the same time, road services are working hard to limit the impact of this winter episode. In Yvelines, the road network remains generally operational, thanks to preventive salting operations underway throughout the département. If necessary, snow removal teams will intervene rapidly to keep roads passable.
In Essonne, the authorities are urging caution, particularly in view of the risk of severe frost expected overnight. This vigilance is part of an overall effort to minimize disruption and ensure the safety of everyone, from schoolchildren to motorists.
In Seine-et-Marne, the prefecture fears a resumption of snowy precipitation on Friday morning. " These weather conditions may cause traffic problems on the department's roads ", says the prefecture in a press release.
With a possible resumption of snowfall on Friday morning, but above all due to overnight refreezing, residents of the 3 départements are advised to limit their travel as much as possible. This new winter episode reminds us of the importance of adaptation and caution in the face of climatic hazards, which disrupt daily activities but also strengthen our collective resilience.
