Autoroutes are the same as a freeway or motorway. In France, many of the main Autoroutes have toll fees to pay ("Péage"). The autoroutes use a numbering system with the letter A at the beginning such as the famous A6 ("l'autoroute du soleil").
The different autoroutes are owned by various companies, so you will generally pay more than one toll to get across France. The price depends on your vehicle and the distance driven. You can pay by cash or credit card. Traffic can be very dense at certain times of the year, so prepare your dates and avoid traveling on the same days as the French holiday calendar. There is also a very good radios station which broadcasts information 24/7 on FM 107.7 on all motorways in France, providing up to date details of traffic conditions, alerts and deviations.
The speed limit on all French motoways is 130 kmh on dry roads, 110 kmh on wet roads. Normally when there is "fog" the limit is 50 kmh, but nobody seems to respect this. On a national road the limit is 90 kmh whilst in urban areas there is a 50 kmh restriction.
During the last few years there has been a huge amount of automatic radars installed all over France on the autoroutes and also minor roads. This is an attempt to reduce the number of accidents and deaths on the roads. The project is successful as there has been a dramatic reduction in the number of killed.
