A13

The A13 is a highway in France, currently in the news due to the implementation of 'flux libre' (barrier-free) tolling systems. These systems, mandated by the state, are designed to eliminate toll booths and improve traffic flow. However, they are proving problematic, with a reported 5% of users on the A13 failing to pay tolls spontaneously. This oversight can result in fines of 90 euros. SANEF, the concessionaire for the A13, claims the system is satisfactory despite these issues. Furthermore, the A13 is expected to experience heavy traffic during the Easter weekend, particularly in the direction of departures from the Ile-de-France region. This increased traffic volume adds to the relevance of the tolling system issues, as any delays or complications related to payment could exacerbate congestion.
