[edit] By car

Manche is the "longest" department in France, when measured in road kilometers.

There are roads of every type:

• Motorways and expressways:
  • The A84 crosses the department from east to southwest, and is free (no tolls)
  • The RN13, a 4-lane expressway, links the top of the department to Caen.
  • The RN174 provides a fast link from the A84 to the RN13. Part is already an expressway and the last two-lane section will be converted to expressway by 2010.
• National Routes
  • Since National roads becaome a departmental responsibility, most of these have been converted to departmental roads.
• Departmental Roads
  • A large road network supports travel by car anywhere in Manche
