Currently, and for decades, highways have been equipped with toll gates. Fear for some drivers, especially on the holiday route. Because who says that tolls necessarily mean traffic jams, not to mention the price, which continues to rise. By the way, the last one has increased by an average of 4.75%. last February due to inflation. Actually, road companies have the right to index the surcharge to the latter and transfer up to 70% of its rate. But the toll gate will soon go down in history.

First

Indeed, barrier-free highways are gradually beginning to develop. We already find them among our Portuguese neighbors, but now the first has appeared in France. This is highway A79, which has no barriers. In this way, drivers are identified through the gate and paid via an electronic toll or through a terminal located at the service station. It is also possible to pay the due amount at home, on the website of the company responsible for the highway. But all this needs to be realized, and not everyone has it, even the opposite.

A bad surprise

Actually no less than 180,000 unpaid bills were indicated, which then leads to a fine that can reach 375 euros. And at the same time, many drivers did not even know that they were driving on a toll road, but without barriers. The settlement period was reduced from 72 hours to two weeks to help motorists, but it seems that this was not enough. It remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved while those affected feel cheated and trapped.
