THE PAPER IS THE RESULT OF A FELLOWSHIP RECEIVED BY THE AUTHOR, FOR A STAY IN FRANCE, WHERE HE WENT TO OBSERVE AND ANALYSE "HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION" SPECIFICALLY "TOLL COLLECTION". WITH OPEN ACCESS TO ALL SOURCES OF INFORMATION, THE ENGINEER OBTAINED DATA AND ELEMENTS WHICH ALLOWED HIM TO EXPOSE, WITH GREAT PROPRIETY AND CLARITY, ALL THAT BE COULD OBSERVED, FROM THE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION STRUCTURE-WITH HISTORICAL SUMMARY AND EXAMINATION OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES - TO THE TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM, ANALYSING THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTIONING. THE AUTHOR ENDS, IN TERMS OF "FINAL CONSIDERATIONS", AFTER REFERRING TO THE PRESENT SITUATION IN BRAZIL CONCERNING TOLL ADOPTION, BY SUBMITTING NINE ITEMS, A RECAPITULATION OF WHAT HE CALLS "THE FRENCH EXPERIENCE ON THE SUBJECT", NOTING THE FIRST ITEM: ALL THE EXPRESS-WAYS, BRIDGES AND TUNNELS SUBMITTED TO THE TOLL PAYMENT WERE DESIGNED FROM THE BEGINNING. THE IDEA OF ADAPTING A EXISTING HIGHWAY WORK TO CHANGE ITS "STATU QUO" WAS NEVER CONSIDERED. /RRI/
