Vehicles have no choice but to turn around at the toll gate, radio 107.7 reports. The objective is to prevent vehicles from entering this axis where many vehicles are currently blocked, for about 6 km, between the bottom of Thiers and the area of Pins, in the direction of Clermont-Lyon.

“For two hours, things have not moved. It is at a complete stop. We do not see any snowplow, no tow truck in our direction and the snow is starting to whiten everything again.”
