Since this afternoon, Operation Return on the Basque roads has been in operation
August is advancing and the time of return is approaching for many, so this afternoon theReturn Operation will begin in the Basque Autonomous Community, from 15:00 to 22:00. The most critical dates are expected tobe the last two long weekends of August, from Thursday to Sunday, i.e. from¢1 to 24 and from 28:00 to 31:00.
In the afternoon, therefore, that first weekend will begin. During these days of operation of the device, a special signalling device will be installed atthe Armiñon link between the AP-1 motorway and the A-1 in the Vitoria-Gasteiz sense. At this point, cones and special signs will allow one of the three lanes of the A-1 for vehicles entering the AP-1 on a massive basis to enter the road safely at 80 kilometres per hour.
Special attention will be paid to other critical points, such as Gtica, AP-8, Biriatou orderage, or A-8, in the Bizkaia section, where traffic is expected to slow due to the large number of cars from Cantabria.
In the Basque Country, the number of vehicles travelling from France and the rest of Europe to Portugal and North Africa has increased this year. This summer, international traffic has increased by 4.5% compared to 2024, and forecasts predicted 3.8%.
On the other hand, the largest volume of internal traffic, especially on the A-8 motorway, on the territorial border with Cantabria and on weekends, has increased by 3.5%, exceeding the 3% growth forecast here too.
