Castres, in 81, evolves in a region where Catalan, Mediterranean and Pyrenean road influences meet. The A9 known as La Languedocienne and the A61 known as L'Occitane form the backbone, completed by the toll-free A75 to Clermont-Ferrand. The Low Emission Zones of Toulouse Metropolis and Montpellier Mediterranee Metropole require Crit'Air monitoring to enter these agglomerations. In a small town like Castres, 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.
