Traveling by car
BelToll is an electronic toll collection system (ETC), valid from 1st July 2013 in the Republic of Belarus. The system is using the world’s proven microwave technology based on Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC). It allows road users to pay toll without stopping at toll plazas.
Along the toll road network, gantries fitted with antennas, enable the communication between the transceivers and the special devices, called on-board units (OBU), which are mounted on the windscreen of the vehicles.
The direct communication of the so-called multi-lane-free-flow facility (MLFF) between the device in the vehicle, on-board unit (OBU), and the toll gantries allows fully automatic calculation of the toll when passing underneath the toll portals.
When drivers pass underneath the terminals of payment the electronic toll collection system will automatically draw money from the driver’s OBU user account, established upon registration in the system.
Neither the speed needs to be reduced nor has a special lane to be used. This means moving traffic for all road users!
Citizens of the Customs Union, driving motor vehicles with maximum laden weight not exceeding 3.5 tons will not be liable to pay toll. Drivers of motor vehicles and combination of vehicles with maximum laden weight of over 3.5 tons as well as drivers of vehicles with maximum laden weight less than 3.5 tons registered outside the Customs Union (Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan) will be obliged to pay toll when using the BelToll system.
The extension of he following categories of vehicles are also exempt from the electronic toll payment:
- motorbikes and motorcycles;
- wheeled tractors and self-propelled vehicles, registered on the territory of the Republic of Belarus;
- special operation vehicles;
- vehicles used for the purposes of ensuring the defensive capacity and enforcement of the law;
- fixed-route taxis used for urban transportation of passengers, as well as vehicles used for emergency response or transportation of humanitarian aid to the population of the Republic of Belarus and other countries.
Tariffs for the passage along Belarusian motorways have been set depending on maximum laden weight of the vehicle and the number of axles and vary from €0.04 to €0.12 per 1km.
