I ordered a tag some weeks ago and it hasn't arrived for reasons which aren't clear. So it looks like I'll have to pay as I go through. What's the best way to approach the booths when by yourself?

There is not much you can do other than stop slightly short and wide of paying terminal and run around the front of the car.

It really isn't a problem. Just park up leaving enough clearance to get to the pay point and stroll round, pay and then drive off. No rush and nothing to get stressed about. I have done it hundreds of times without any issues.

lots are double sided - or buy a Tag much easier and convenient.

I ordered a tag a few weeks back that arrived yesterday for a September trip, will be the first time in 30 years going on my own (normally two or more of us) and I didn't fancy running around the vehicles at the toll booths! Whilst a relatively easy process ordering one all communication has been in French (there's a surprise!) and I can only say thank god for google translate!
