Semi-Automatic collection system

The motorway is free of charge for the people in UK, US and Germany, but for Japanese, French, Spanish, and Italian, NO.

When you drive the motorway along the Mediterranean coast, you come across a lot of toll gate.

Thanks to technology development, some gate has ETC (=Electronic Toll Collection) System but most of the case, still motorway fee has collected by manual.

In France, semi-automatic collection machine is installed in the toll like this photo.

It makes you feel giving a tip rather than paying the fee.
