On Tuesday, February 15, it took us over two hours in the afternoon to drive from Juliana Airport to our hotel in Orient Village. The traffic was the worst we have ever encountered, and we have been vacationing in St Martin since 1989.
P.S. We drove through Marigot

For what it’s worth from BSV to the French side, usually Friars Bay or Anse Marcel, we find it quicker to go through Mullet and Cupecoy and the lowlands area than to take the causeway route to Marigot. There’s a school area just outside the main shopping area of Marigot that clogs up almost daily during the week with parents dropping off or picking up their children, or such has been our experience.
By going the lowlands route through Nettle Baie and literally through the Marigot marketplace and left hugging the waterside you eventually come out on the other side of that school area relatively close to the roundabout before Rambaud (sp?) hill and the traffic congestion eases up.The amount of traffic also has a lot to with the time of day. Returning is anybody’s guess….😊😊
