Structuring axes include the A1, A16, A23, A26 and A29, with heavy truck traffic linked to the ports of Calais, Dunkirk and Boulogne-sur-Mer. Proximity to the Belgian border means many cross-border trips and particular attention to bilingual signage in some areas. Driving in Abbeville combines centre streets, peripheral housing estates and axes to neighbouring towns. Gaze control and priorities in residential zones structure a large part of learning.
