Different types of toll lanes
Take the lane or, if there is none, take the lane when leaving or joining the motorway.
If the lane has a height restriction bar, then the lane is exclusively for light vehicles with a height less than
2 metres (Category 1, light vehicle). If the lane does not have a bar, it can be used by any vehicle.
There are also some toll booths with“Tempo 30 lanes”, which allow a faster passage. This lane can be driven
through at a speed of up to 30 km/h and the OBU will automatically be recognized when you drive up to the
toll lane if the OBU is properly positioned in the vehicle.
Correct use of the toll lane
Drive at walking pace to ensure the OBU can be successfully recognized (it beeps). Keep a minimum distance of
4 metres from the vehicle ahead of you. Look for the green light, which signals a successful drive through. If the
barrier is already open as you approach it, do not proceed until thegreen light shows. Look out for motorway
personnel who may cross the toll lane.
Correct use of the Free Flow Toll lane
The free flow station is a station without barriers, where the driver do not have to stop. Please follow the
instructions given by the toll charger to use correctly the free flow lane.
