Béthune, in 62, evolves in a densely populated region where urban and peri-urban driving takes up most trips. The area connects to Lille via the A1 or A23, and to the coast via the A16, with permanent European traffic towards Calais and the Channel Tunnel. Farm harvests from August to October weigh on secondary road traffic, with frequent tractors and trailers. In a small town like Béthune, driving alternates between town centre, residential zones and access to departmental axes. Entry roundabouts and 30 km/h zones are the main points of attention.
