Mais pour être réellement efficace, cette technique doit être couplée au pesage à vitesse normale. Pour ce faire, le ministère des Transports a entrepris l'installation de stations de surcharge des poids lourds. Elles sont réparties sur l'ensemble du territoire et permettent de peser les véhicules dans leur voie de circulation sans les ralentir ni les détourner. 4, record 2, French, - pesage%20en%20marche%20%C3%A0%20vitesse%20normale
