All about the A7 motorway
You're probably preparing for a wonderful holiday in our beautiful French sunshine, heading for the Mediterranean Sea! And to do this, you will most likely use the
A7 motorway
, commonly known as the "
sunshine motorway
". Connecting Lyon to Marseille, the A7 motorway covers
312km
and is an extension of the A6.
During the holiday period, particularly in July and August, many motorists experience holdups that prolong their journey. This is particularly the case in the Valence area or in Lançon de Provence, between its toll booth and Salon-de-Provence.
To
avoid these traffic jams
at the toll booths, there’s nothing better than using the
Bip&Go electronic toll badge
!
The Bip&Go electronic toll badge on the A7 motorway
In addition to having the
electronic toll system
, each of the toll stations on the A7 motorway has
specific 30km/h "T" lanes
. Practical for avoiding traffic jams at the toll booth! You will be able to drive on all toll lanes, whether they are specific lanes or not.
Unfortunately, Bip&Go does not have any branches on the A7 motorway, but don't panic, you can easily get a
Bip&Go electronic toll badge online
! You can easily manage your electronic toll subscription in our subscriber area.
Do you need an
electronic toll subscription for the A7 motorway
?
If you want an electronic toll badge for your holidays, choose the
Bip&Go “Pay as you go” electronic toll subscription
or the
Bip&Go “Liber-t Vacances” electronic toll subscription
(available only in France).
On the other hand, if you drive frequently (several times a year), you’ll prefer our
Bip&Go “Fixed price” electronic toll subscription
.
