    A2 autoroute, France



    Map of French A2 motorway.


    The A2 Autoroute is a French autoroute that travels 76 km from the A1 near the commune of Combles in Picardie to the border with Belgium, where it continues on as the Belgian motorway A7. The entire length is concurrently designated European route E19.

    In conjunction with the A1 autoroute and the Belgian A7 it is the main route between Paris and Brussels. Until other more direct motorway routes are completed it is also the fastest route from Paris to the Belgian city of Liege.

    From Combles to Cambrai, the autoroute is managed by the Société des Autoroutes du Nord et de l'Est de la France (SANEF) and is a toll road. From Cambrai onward it is a non-toll autoroute managed by the government of the Nord départment. Two lanes travel in each direction.

    Length: 76 km (47 mi)

    Speed limit: France has the following speed limits for limited access roads classified as motorways:

    • Under normal conditions - 130 km/h (80 mph)
    • In rain or wet road conditions - 110 km/h (70 mph)
    • In heavy fog or snowy/icy conditions - 50 km/h (30 mph)

    Limited access roads classified as express roads have lower speed limit (90 or 110 km/h, 55 or 70 mph).

    In normal conditions, there is a minimum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) in the lane most left (no minimum speed on the others' right lanes, but speed should be adapted for each situation: not too slow).
