Just a heads up, or actually head forward and ride.

The Sanef inaugurates this Wednesday morning in Moselle, a system that avoids stopping to pay the highway, even without subscription. The system could become widespread in the coming years.


No more wasting time on the toll! The motorway company Sanef inaugurates this Wednesday morning, a new device in France of "free flow". Drivers leaving the A 4 at Boulay (Moselle), near Metz, will no longer need to stop to pay for their journey. Instead, they will pass under a portico barded by sensors and cameras. These instruments will determine the class of the vehicle (cars, vans, trucks, motorcycles ...), read the license plates and detect any passes Sanef or Liber-t badges.

Motorists who do not have a subscription will have 10 days to pay the bill. They can pay either by credit card on a dedicated website, or by going to the terminals located in the parking Boulay. The motorist who forgot to pay in time will receive a reminder. "Then, if the payment incidents are repeated, the process applied is the same as for any incident of payment on our motorways: a fixed compensation of 20 euros per way is applied," says Sanef.

The company, which operates more than 2000 km of motorway mainly in Normandy, in the North and East of France, has invested 50 million euros in this project. The goal? To generalize this system supposed to make the circulation "more fluid, faster and safer", as aims the government. Vinci Autoroutes has also started a "free flow" experiment, but on a single lane, at the tolls of Tours Nord (Indre-et-Loire).
Time saving and fuel economy

"We chose to carry this first on the Boulay site because it is widely used for commuting while having a moderate overall traffic," says Christine Allard, Director of Relations (...)
 
Before we get into a load of posts about the French ripping bods off and how to get a ‘beeper’ (there’s threads and a sticky on that already) I’ll close this one off.
