1. Toll road
A toll road is a road, motorway, bridge, tunnel or other route for which users must pay a charge. The toll may apply to all vehicles or only to particular vehicle categories, and the amount can depend on factors such as distance travelled, vehicle type, weight or emissions.
Tolls may be collected at toll booths, electronically or through a vignette or distance-based charging system. Drivers should check the applicable payment rules before using a toll road, especially when travelling in another country.
Which road-charging system should I check in Russia?
Russia has charged road sections operated under specific toll arrangements. Avtodor Toll Roads provides route, tariff and payment information; collection can differ between conventional plazas and barrier-free sections.

What should I check before using a charged road in Russia?
Identify the operator and whether the section uses a ticket, transponder or registration-based payment. Keep payment records and check the official procedure for any unpaid journey; a barrier-free road is not automatically free.

Does the absence of a toll booth prove that a road is free in Russia?
The absence of a payment booth is not proof that a charged road is free. A vignette, electronic account, vehicle-registration record or another payment procedure may be used where the actual scheme provides for it. Follow the responsible authority or operator’s instructions for that road.
