Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Zorrac, Interesting. They appear to be utilising the methods used on the Dartford crossing etc in the UK ie record your numberplate as you pass and then you have to visit their web site within 3 days and pay. I found the text a bit hard to follow as it included some words I hadn't seen before such as "soil artificialization". The concept of paying more for more polluting vehicles is IMHO good.
Incidently I have never used that route and probably never will.

I really hate that. As a very occasional visitor to the UK it's incredibly poorly signed and very confusing, particularly given that it's only if you're travelling one direction that you have to pay (have I got that right?). Last time I used it, four years or so ago, the first thing I knew about it was when I got a fine through the post, which the enraged me so much I sat on it for a bit, so it was then doubled up after just a couple of weeks (probably a month, but I only pick up mail sporadically).
I just don't think it's fair to put the onus on the motorist to know how it works - if they use cameras like that why can't they just send you the bill for the actual amount you owe? Maybe add a small processing fee, but not the sixty quid or so for non-payment.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Same if you go to drop or pick up somebody at Heathrow (and I think other) airports. Unless somebody warns you, or you can quickly take in the information on the notice boards as you navigate completely unfamiliar territory, you will be fined.

There is a similar short section of Autostrada in Italy near Como. It is pretty much empty and is not easy to find! However it does help to avoid the sometimes huge queues on the southbound toll gates on the main Autostrada coming from Switzerland. Working out how to pay the couple of Euros fee is not easy for a non Italian.

Seems to be the sort of thing that's being done globally. PITA but doable with your own car. Bit more of a PITA if its a rental car and you have to remember the time slot when you used it.
