The society of Grand Paris tests an “anti-stopper solution
As part of the construction work for the future line 15 of the “Grand Paris Express” and its stations, the Société du Grand Paris and Egis group conducted an experiment to reduce road congestion around construction sites. The principle: pay drivers who choose to avoid congested routes. A kind of “positive toll” to encourage them to change their transport habits.
