Here's a concept that road users are not unanimous about! Supposed to be more convenient, thefree-flow freeway has been in place on the A13 and A14 between Paris and Normandy, since December 10, 2024. This means you don't have to stop and pay at the toll booths, but it doesn't mean you don't have to pay - and that's where the danger lies!
From now on, payment must be made after the journey, on the Sanef website, within a maximum of 72 hours of your journey. Cameras and sensors have been installed on toll booths to scan car license plates and calculate the total amount to be paid. If you're worried about forgetting to pay, you can create an account now by entering your license plate and card number, which will be debited automatically after you've passed through.
Another solution, if you're on the road a lot, is to take out a subscription with the Liber-t electronic toll tag, which means you don't have to worry about it, as your toll expenses are deducted automatically every month. For the moment, only the A79 and A4 have these free-flow sections.
If you don't pay, you'll be fined the full amount of the unpaid toll, plus a flat-rate penalty of 90 euros, reduced to 10 euros if paid within 15 days. If the fine is not paid within 2 months, it will be increased by 375 euros.
