Driving specifics in the 92
The 92 combines very dense urban zones (Boulogne, Levallois), motorways (A13, A14, A86, RN118), tunnels (pont de Neuilly, A14 Nanterre-La Défense), and many recent ZACs. The A14 tunnel is particularly instructive for learning motorway merges in constrained areas.
A14 tunnel and Nanterre toll
The A14 (toll motorway) linking La Défense to Orgeval is frequently included in exam routes for candidates ready for motorway tests. The Nanterre toll (mandatory electronic toll since July 2023) is a specific feature to master. Local schools offer 1-2 specific lessons for familiarisation.
