In 2014, only regional two-lane highways (''routes départementales'') pass through the urban ring of Vichy. The D2209 is the principal axis of circulation for heavily loaded trucks, from the west (via [[Gannat]]) or the north (via [[Varennes-sur-Allier]] or [[Saint-Germain-des-Fossés]]) ; other important routes are the following (listed in the clockwise order):
* the D906e, former D906, from the south ([[Abrest]], [[Saint-Yorre]], [[Thiers (Puy-de-Dôme)|Thiers]], [[Ambert]], [[Livradois]] and [[Le Puy-en-Velay]]) ;
* the D1093, from the southwest (Forest of [[Randan, Puy-de-Dôme|Randan]], Grande Limagne, [[Maringues]], [[Riom]], [[Clermont-Ferrand]]);
* the D984, from the west-southwest ([[Bellerive-sur-Allier]], [[Effiat]], Aigueperse);
* the D6, from the northwest ([[Charmeil]], [[Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule]]).

The D67 is a loop to the north of the city created to limit traffic jams (access to [[Creuzier-le-Neuf]], afterwards by the D907, [[Lapalisse]] and the [[Route nationale 7|N7]]).
