Improving customer<br />
comfort and increasing traffic<br />

system<br />
Modernised toll plazas<br />
Use of electronic toll systems, which represented<br />
nearly 43% of transactions in 2009 as opposed to<br />
40% in 2008, continues to grow rapidly.<br />
Sales of Liber-t badges increased by 21.5% in<br />
2009, and reached a total of 737,000 active badges<br />
by the end of the year.<br />
Used experimentally on three of the network’s toll<br />
plazas, drive-through electronic toll systems have<br />
been shown to improve customer comfort and<br />
traffic flows by allowing vehicles to drive through<br />
the toll plaza at 30 km/h along certain lanes.<br />
In parallel, 117 plazas out of the 145 operated<br />
by the Group are now remotely operated, either<br />
completely or partially.<br />
