A72 autoroute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A72 is an autoroute (motorway) in France.
The motorway is operated by Autoroutes du Sud de la France (ASF) and links Clermont-Ferrand to Saint-Étienne on one of the steepest and meandrous motorways in France. Over 35 km (22 miles) of the motorway is limited to 110 km/h (70 mph) as sections are considered too dangerous for the standard 130 km/h (80 mph) speed limit.
The motorway has 2 lanes both directions with 3 lane sections near Saint-Étienne.
The road is also numbered the European route E70. The section between Clermont-Ferrand to the A89 spur will eventually become part of the A89.
