President of the national confederation of tobacconists Philippe Coy affirmed this Sunday that it would soon be possible to pay certain toll bills in tobacco shops. This service will first be accessible on the Paris - Normandy route.
In October 2023, it was announced that the toll gates on the A13 and A14 would be replaced by gantries equipped with cameras. These will record the registration plate of the motorist, who will be able to pay his bill afterwards, on the Internet or at a tobac Conist. “My desire is to turn tobacConists into everyday drugstores,” said Coy in an interview with Ouest-France. ‘We will pass certain tolls without stopping but you will have 48 hours to pay for your passage. This can be done online,’ explained Philippe Coy, “This collection is based on the Nirio network (Française des jeux) which manages private collection. Already 10,000 tobac conist operators are approved,�” continued the representative.
