In addition to some roads, in France drivers will need to pay for travelling through tunnels and bridges. The charge for the use of blue roads depends on the distance of a ride and on the type of a car.

Yellow marking on a road signifies the presence of parking spaces. Only owners of a special card can park their cars there. Yellow dotted lines added to the border of a pavement indicate that it is possible to make short stops (for picking up and drop-off of passengers) at this part of the road.

In large cities large parking lot can be found near underground stations. The time of use of such parking areas is limited. Drivers are usually permitted to occupy a parking space there for the period from 15 minutes to 2 hours. The time of arrival to the parking lot is recorded in a special ticket, so in case of a late payment driver will have to pay a fine.
