In 2023, the volume of road traffic in France stood at approximately 13.10 million vehicle-kilometers per motor vehicle. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decrease in road traffic volume, beginning with 13.05 million in 2024 and declining steadily to 12.82 million by 2028. This represents an overall slight downward trend in traffic volume. Year-on-year variations show modest reductions in traffic volume each year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the five-year forecast period indicates a minor annual decline, signifying a potential shift in transportation patterns or efficiencies in road usage.
Future trends to watch for include the progression of policies encouraging public transportation usage, advancements in vehicle efficiency, and broader adoption of alternative transportation methods like biking or car-sharing which may contribute to the observed reduction in road traffic volume.
