Storm Caetano: “I find that shameful!” Blocked all night on the highway by snow, motorists forced to pay tolls

This Thursday, France was hit by the storm Caetano. As a result, temperatures dropped and snow invited herself to the party. HAS Montbéliardin Franche-Comté, it even fell heavily. So much so that traffic was paralyzed on the A36 motorway.

As confirmed by L'Est Républicain, hundreds of drivers found themselves immobilized for hours. Notably this woman named Nadia, psychologist-psychoanalyst between Besançon and Montbéliard. Which actually spent the whole night on the A36. “I left Montbéliard at 6 p.m. on Thursday and arrived home (in Saône, editor’s note) at 5:30 a.m. Friday morning, although it’s a journey that normally takes 1 hour 15 minutes”she confides to our colleagues.

Claim

More surprisingly, when she was finally able to leave the highway, the barriers were closed. Result, and as usual, Nadia had to pay the 8 euros toll. “I pressed the button to report my dissatisfaction, but nothing could be done: I had to pay a little more than 8 euros and I was advised to file a complaint. I find that shameful !”she still complains, directly targeting the APRR manager (Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône).

Nadia's case is not an isolated case. Since motorists going in the other direction also had to pay the fare for the trip after more than 4 hours of immobilization.
