Would any kind soul who may have this please post up?
Am always fumbling for change causing queues and it would help if I could get my satnag to warn me of upcoming toll booth
Merci buckets as they say over there!

Not got a GPX file but, in Google maps, Search for "Peage locations" in any particular area shows them up on the Aitoroutes..

Without wishing to start a 50 pager just get one of these

Costs you 1.70 euros per month that you use it in France & nothing when you don't use it, they work perfectly, car or bike so you can swap vehicles, 4 countries covered, no more faffing or queueing

They're doing free delivery at the moment and 3 months free usage charge (abonnement)

Mcinlb- yes thanks but short of copying all the locations by hand to create a file- it would take ages.
Leadfarmer- yep knows them but not looking for a payment method. I'm still on the hunt for that elusive geo locator GPX file.
Thanks both for replying

Wondering if Mr Wapping might have one?

 

[Redboots]

I have one, but its from 2008...

Edit: There is a newer one at POIPlaza (2016): https://poiplaza.com/index.php?p=sdb&d=12636&lstpg=ds&lsts=_LSTS_

Merci

Thanks a lot John- can you post up the new one (2016)? can't seem to locate it with your link! I can't imagine the Froggies would have build a great deal more of them since then- so, as they say in Yorkshire, That'll do

Whilst I'd love to start a 50 pager

Card in your tank bag pocket........wham, bham thank you mam and off you go. Why on earth would you need advance warning of a toll booth

PoiPlaza now uses POIBase to download files directly to your device as a GPI file. If I run it through a converter to Garmin GPX format it ends up at 2.7megs. Too big for attaching. The original GPI is also too big.

If you install POIBase and search for "Barriere de Péage" you will find it. Your device has to be connected to the PC/MAC to search & download.


Edit: Loaded into BC and its so big because it now includes all European tolls, as far as I can see.

Haven’t got a tank bag

And I like playing barrier roulette, riding into the 30kmh lanes wondering if it’s going to raise the barrier or decapitate us

But yes, as you say, advanced warning is of limited use as you still need to stop and pay

 

[Wapping]

I do not have and have never had a GPX file of payage barrier locations.

I do though have a rapid pass blipper thing, to speed me on my way. People who fumble around with coins, need to be shot.

PS Michelin maps mark them all. I doubt if you will ever need to load them all. That being said, the most useful thing I have marked is where the free section starts and ends around Boulogne, so I can nip onto the motorway to skip around the town. I have the same for skirting the city of Lyon and Nancy (which is a real grind to get through).

The question me n'all.....

Bikers who fumble around with coins should be applauded, they piss off following car drivers who eventually complain leading to free passage for bikes

Clearly not working on the French payage network…… and they’ve arguably had years of trying.

Presumably he wants to fumble about on the move. Or, to prepare himself mentally for the fumbling to come.

However, as the tolls are signed at least a kilometre out and signed again and are somewhat large, you’d think he’d have enough warning without a ping from his GPS unit.

 

[polecat]

How much notice do you want ?

Interesting thing that. Do bikes pay the same charge as cars ?

 

[Wapping]

No.

Motorbikes are billed differently to cars and to lorries, ie bikes pay less.

They work very well. Recommended.

 

[leadfarmer]

As above

You’ll be charged as class 5 for a bike or class 1 for a car, it’s automatic and works perfectly as long as you don’t go through a lane with a no motorcycles symbol above (as outlined in blue)

The lanes with a 2m barrier above saying “Reservé”, will open the barrier if you’re on a bike but you will be charged the class 1 car rate, it’s easy to miss the signs, I’ve don it a couple of times

In the photo below you should take the right hand lane if you’re on a bike

I gave up on the toll roads last weekend through central France, closed with diversions that made no sense whatsoever, so on returning I used the N routes and saved 98 Euro and it was quicker! Seems to me that this time of year it happens more frequently.

Done, edited and fixed. Thanks John

...and it's a barrier allergy thing I do the same for frontiers, customs blah blah blah
