Toll highway sections are equipped with Toll Plazas (TP). The terms of payment depend on their type – closed, open or mixed.

In the first case, all entries and exits from the road are restricted by plazas, in the second – payment occurs either at the beginning or at the end of the section, without restriction of other entries and exits, and in the third – the plazas are installed both at the beginning and at the end of the section, but inside it the entry and exit are not restricted.

General rules for passing toll plazas:

  1. when approaching TP decrease the speed;
  2. pay attention to display panels and traffic lights – use open lanes;
  3. select the proper lane:
      NON-STOP LANES FOR TRANSPONDER USERS
    AUTOMATIC ENTRY LANES FOR TICKETS DISTRIBUTION, FOR THOSE WHO TRAVEL WITHOUT TRANSPONDER
    AUTOMATIC ENTRY LANES FOR TICKETS DISTRIBUTION AND STOP-AND-GO PASSAGE WITH THE USE OF TRANSPONDER

    MANUAL LANES FOR PAYMENT BY CASH OR BANK CARDS

    AUTOMATIC TOLL LANES FOR PAYMENT BY BANK CARDS ONLY

    AUTOMATIC TOLL LANES FOR PAYMENT BY BANK CARDS ONLY

    AUTOMATIC TOLL LANES FOR PAYMENT BY BANK CARDS AND TRANSPONDERS
    MANUAL LANES FOR OVERSIZE VEHICLES FOR PAYMENT BY CASH AND BANK CARDS
  4. pay the toll by any means convenient for you;
  5. wait for the green traffic signal and opening of the barrier;
  6. keep moving.

For non-stop passage, use transponder. At the TP you just need to choose a special lane, decrease the speed to 30 km/h and pass on the green. You can purchase the on-board device in points of sales.

Attention! Violation of the rules for passage through Toll Plazas may lead to imposition of an administrative punishment in the form of driving license revocation.

Features of Toll Plaza types:

  1. Open type: passage through TP and toll payment is performed only once. Such type of TP is located on all toll sections of M3 Ukraine highway and M4 Don highway, except 416–460 km section (Khlevnoe village and Zadonsk town bypass) and 633–715 km section (Losevo village and Pavlovsk town bypass).
  2. Closed type: toll sections are restricted by entry TPs, at which it is necessary to receive a Ticket and exit ones where the user shall pass it to the cashier and pay the toll. Such type of TP is located on all toll sections of M11 Neva highway.
  3. Mixed type: as a rule, the toll is paid at the entry TP and a receipt is submitted at the exit one. Such type of TP is located on 416–460 km and 633–715 km sections of M4 Don highway.

Attention! Keep the ticket issued by the terminal on the entry toll lane! If the user can not submit the ticket, then the maximum toll will be charged at the exit plaza, taking into account the vehicle category, the route and time of the day.

It is worth remembering that the rules and organization of traffic on free and toll highways are the same. The only difference is that toll sections provide the unobstructed passage service. Violation of the rules can cause both traffic difficulties, and road accidents.
