I just have seen a license-plate scanner in use yesterday, in our vacations.
I was a very little part (not bigger than two cigarette-packets), mounted inside the gate of the harbour of Esbjerg/Danmark, on the way to the ferry terminal to Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
For safety reasons, but also for controlling, if you have paid the toll for two undersea-tunnels on the Faroe Islands. There are mounted these scanners, too.
Btw. the toll is fu..ing high - 130 Danish Crowns (ca.17,50 €). Sure, to pass some tunnels in the Alps costs more money - but the are longer than just 3 km.
Do you have known, where the bridge with most expensivest toll (compared to the lenghts) of the world stands? It's in Scotland, the bridge over the Loch Alsh to the Isle of Skye (just behind the legendaray Eilean Donan Castle). I don't know the actual price, but in 2001 it was over 10 Brit.Pounds.
O.k., as a German it's easy to be upset about toll for bridges, tunnels and especially roads. Here it's unknown (except for trucks). But it maybe come sooner or later. The politicans are looking always, how to get money...
