A2 → A Upgrade in Belfort

Belfort is a small town in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté with 45,912 inhabitants according to the latest INSEE figures. In this context, the A2 → A Upgrade stands as a useful milestone for residents' autonomy, whether for personal, family or professional use.

Belfort, in 90, evolves in a territory where driving combines long flat sections, forest crossings and Morvan ramps. Axes to Dijon, Besancon and Auxerre rely on the toll motorways A6, A31 and a dense departmental network. Wildlife (deer, boar) on Morvan roads makes night trips especially sensitive at dawn and dusk. Driving in Belfort combines centre streets, peripheral housing estates and axes to neighbouring towns. Gaze control and priorities in residential zones structure a large part of learning.

For the practical A2 → A Upgrade test, department 90 shows an average waiting time of about 63 days (national average) between registration and exam date. Sessions take place in the centres designated by the Prefecture of Belfort, and the national RdvPermis platform progressively manages slot allocation.

In parallel, the highway code theoretical test (ETG) can be taken with several state-approved operators. La Poste, one of the most widespread, offers an official search tool allowing candidates to book a session close to home.

ONISR statistics put the 1st-presentation B licence pass rate at 59.8% for department 90.
