The motorway is 5 times safer than the road. Have you ever wondered why?
Motorway safety: what role for us and for you?
First, there's the design of the motorway, its wide lanes without intersections, and the separation of traffic directions. Then there's us, maintaining it, ensuring its safety, and supporting you by keeping you informed throughout your journey. And finally, there's you: drivers, truckers, and motorcyclists, whether you're relaxed or in a hurry, heading to a holiday destination or on your regular commute. Every day, we share the motorway. Together, let's improve safety.
What misconceptions can endanger your safety on the motorway?
Behind the wheel, you sometimes play the superhero. You think you're stronger than fatigue and try to knock it out by blasting Sanef 107.7 or opening all the car windows to get a lungful of fresh air. Don't tire yourself out, it doesn't work!

What advice should you follow to drive safely on the motorway?
Before hitting the road, it's best to have slept well, eaten a light meal, and avoided alcohol, certain medications…and drugs.
During the trip, to manage fatigue, take frequent breaks, nap, and let someone else drive!
Want a coffee to boost your alertness? Caffeine takes effect after 30 minutes, but be aware that its temporary effect won't prevent you from falling asleep!
How to stay fully focused while driving?
Hyperactive, hyper-connected, reachable 24/7: STOP! When driving, activate driving mode and stay 100% focused on the road!
And you?
Would you drive after drinking? No? Yet, when you're on the phone while driving, your reaction time exceeds that of a driver with a blood alcohol level of 0.8g/l!
Automatic reminder: On average, on our highways, you'll find a rest area every 10 minutes where you can pull over safely, send a text message, read an urgent email, or make a call safely.
