It`s used on the Payage toll-roads; the ticket booths use entry/exit/distance-covered timings and the Gendarmerie get the head`s up automatically and pull-speeders as they leave the booth.

Grand frère strikes again We used some kind of toll, whether it was a Payage or not I couldn't say. SWMBO told where to go!   I just drove.  
We did see one Gatso type thing in the central reservation though, & just as over here, everyone obediantly obeyed the limit as we passed.

.....and stick to posted speed-limits as they are average-speed monitored......

Is this a recent thing? We took the Omega to Vendee about 4 years back. We didn't drop much below 100 mph all the way, & I wasn't on my own in the outside lane (of 2) It was brilliant how, after overtaking people dropped back into the nearside lane again  , not like over here where people see a car a mile away in the nearside so stay where they are in the outside lane.

Indeed, my first car, an Austin 1960 Farrina bodied A40, bought for £15 in 1971, had far more charisma and appeal than the Mondeo of 1993! Lizzie Zoom  

Your Mundane was as good as that?
