Taxe poids lourds

Those roads represent around 15000 kilometers. The income on state-financed roads should be affected to the agence de financement des infrastructures de transport de France, which would use it partly to fund some loss-making railway lines in France. The income on locally financed roads should go to the local administration that maintains them.
