Abstract: The invention relates to a road gantry comprising a horizontal beam (2), the upper surface (21) of which constitutes a passageway for service personnel to cross, the gantry being characterized in that it comprises arms (25) for bearing apparatuses (30) for monitoring road traffic, electronic toll collection, or signaling, wherein said arms are pivotably attached to the horizontal beam so as to be able to move from a first position, in which the arms extend towards the road, into a second position for stowage on said passageway, and vice versa. The passageway may comprise protection guardrails (22, 23) in which openings (24) are formed, said openings being shut by door panels (24) arranged so as to enable the passage of said arms (25) from said first position to said second position and vice versa. The invention also relates to a barrier-free electronic toll collection station including at least one such gantry.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for collecting objects (2) from a roadway (3) and to a van-type vehicle provided with such a device, comprising a collecting plate (10), means for fixing (11) said plate to a motorised land vehicle (4), and actuating means (12) for moving the plate from a non-operational lifted position to a lowered collecting position and vice versa, said fixing means being used to fix the collecting plate to a front end of a motorised land vehicle. The invention is characterised in that the actuating means are suitable for pivoting the collecting plate between the lifted position in which it is perpendicularly oriented to the surface of the roadway, and the lowered position in which it is essentially parallel to the surface of the roadway. The invention also relates to a van-type vehicle (4) comprising such a device.
