Strategic Infrastructure: The Perrin Crossroads

Les Abymes’ road network is a critical component of the Caribbean transport system. The city manages a high concentration of national highways, with the RN1 and RN5 serving as the primary pillars of terrestrial movement. This infrastructure supports the world-class logistics of the international airport and the essential services of the regional university hospital.

The scale of the network's utilization is intense, particularly near the Perrin roundabout. As a major focal point for traffic moving between the city center and the northern districts, this area has historically been a significant congestion point. To manage this pressure, authorities have implemented a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and an underground passage project, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be a surge in holiday travelers or roadworks near the airport—before they reach the city limits.

Primary Transportation Corridors

1. RN5: The primary artery linking Les Abymes to Morne-à-l'Eau and the northern beaches of Grande-Terre.
2. RN1: The vital link connecting the city to the industrial zones of Jarry and the administrative capital, Basse-Terre.
3. Airport Access Road: The dedicated high-capacity route serving the Pôle Caraïbes passenger and cargo terminals.
4. Boulevard des Abymes: The main urban axis of the city, serving as the primary commercial thoroughfare for the local population.

Prioritizing Safety in the Heart of GP

Road safety is a continuous priority for Routes de Guadeloupe and the local Prefecture. Guadeloupe has historically faced high accident rates, with national statistics recording over 600 road accidents in 2024. In Les Abymes, the combination of high-speed airport transit and the dense urban traffic of the commercial centers presents ongoing challenges for motorists.

The challenge of safety is amplified by the frequency of accidents occurring at night and over weekends. In 2024, nearly 74% of fatal road incidents in Guadeloupe happened after dark. Authorities emphasize that situational awareness and appropriate speed are vital for reducing these figures. By providing free access to live camera feeds, TrafficVision supports this safety mission by giving drivers the visual information needed to anticipate hazards. Being able to see a tailback at the Perrin interchange or heavy tropical rain on the RN5 allows motorists to adjust their speed and behavior before an incident occurs.

Navigating Peak Hours and Metropolitan Peaks

Traffic in Les Abymes follows an intense rhythm dictated by the industrial work day and the arrival of international flights.

The Metropolitan Rush

As the administrative and economic heart of Grande-Terre, Les Abymes experiences concentrated peak-hour traffic. During the morning (6:30 AM - 8:30 AM) and evening peaks, travel times through the city center and toward the Jarry zone can double. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the main radial routes and bypass links simultaneously, helping them find the clearest path through the growing urban core.

Airport Logistics Flow

The movement of goods and passengers through the Pôle Caraïbes International Airport is the lifeblood of the regional economy. Traffic volume on the RN5 and airport access roads can be impacted by the constant flow of shuttle buses and heavy freight moving during the daily flight cycles. Our cameras in these corridors are essential tools for identifying temporary slowdowns and planning your airport transit during quieter periods.
