Connections rely on the A7 to Lyon and Paris, the A8 to Aix, Nice and Italy, and the A51 to Sisteron and Gap. The mistral, blowing down the Rhone valley, can be very strong for days and push high-sided vehicles sideways. In Orange, classified petite-ville, learning integrates coexistence with primary schools, drop-off zones, daycare exits and shared pedestrian-bike-car zones in the centre.

The average waiting time observed in department 84 for the practical A2 Motorcycle License exam is around 63 days (national average). The Prefecture of Avignon coordinates session scheduling via the licence-and-road-safety inspectors.
