What is the difference between toll roads and regular roads?.

All toll roads have free alternatives, but the speed on them is much slower.
Toll roads are marked with special signs. They show the number of the motorway and information that it is toll (this word is indicated in the local language or in English TOLL). Some have points where you can deposit funds before entering paid sections. Also, special electronic devices are often used to register travel and automatically withdraw money from your account..
How to pay for a toll road.
Different countries have different rules for paying tolls on toll roads.. In some cases, you can pay in cash or by bank card at points located at the entrance or exit of the toll road.
In other countries, you need to buy a so-called vignette - a sticker that you need to stick on the windshield. E-vignette is now becoming more common.
Also in Europe there are online services that simplify the process of paying for the use of such roads.. For example, in Poland you can pay for travel on the etoll portal. gov. pl. And if you are traveling through the Czech Republic, then you can buy a vignette on the edalnice website. cz.

How much does it cost to travel on toll roads.
Depending on the country and vehicle class, the fare on the toll road may vary. The principle of payment may also differ: for distance, for time or for passage through a tunnel or bridge.
For cars, the price of a vignette for 10 days in Europe is on average about 7-15 euros.
As for the payment for the distance, for example, in Italy you need to pay about 7 euros for 100 kilometers, and in Serbia - 6.
The price for passing through bridges and tunnels is very different from 1-2 euros to 50-60 euros.
If the driver used the toll road, but did not pay the fare, he will be fined. Fines can reach hundreds of euros.
