For those planning to drive through the Geneva area in late May-early June, be advised that while the G8 summit in Evian is scheduled June 1-3, the Swiss-French border in the Geneva canton will be heavily filtered starting May 22.

Locals have been told to expect:
- unguarded border crossings will be closed
- every single car will be inspected at the open crossings
- very long backups, especially on the highway between the airport and the French border
- plenty of demonstrations in town, more violent than the Swiss norm

I'm hoping to be out of town that week...
