Digital section toll

Green logo of the section toll

 

If you are driving on Austria's motorways, you need a vignette: either a digital one or a sticker. On six sections of the Austrian motorway and expressway network, you need a toll ticket, the so-called (digital) section toll (formerly also known as special toll or video toll).

The reason for this is the particularly high construction costs for special structures such as tunnels. This enables the refinancing of these higher costs. These section toll segments are excluded from the vignette obligation.

How does the digital section toll work


If you have a digital section toll product, the system will electronically recognise your vehicle license plate number when you pass a toll station and the barriers will open automatically.

You can use the leftmost green lane and pass the toll station without stopping. Apart from the green lane, you can also use any other departure lane, with the exception of the rightmost GO lane (only vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes may pass through here).

Exception: On the A 13 Brenner motorway and the A 9 Pyhrn motorway, you can also use the GO lane with a valid section toll product.

 

Which ASFINAG toll stations are there

There are six ASFINAG toll stations on Austria's motorways and expressways where section tolls must be paid:

▼ A 9 Pyhrn motorway / Bosruck tunnel

There are two section toll segments of the A 9 Pyhrn motorway. Section 1 (Bosruck tunnel) is located between the Spital/Pyhrn and Ardning junctions.

Here you can pass through the left-hand green lane without stopping as well as the far right-hand GO lane with a pre-purchased digital toll product.

Motorcycles and trailers – what to look out for

As a motorcyclist, you can also use the digital section toll or the digital section toll FLEX. Save yourself the payment process and pass through toll stations faster.

Passage with a digital section toll ticket or with the digital section toll FLEX works differently for motorcycles or passenger cars with trailers at the toll stations than for passenger cars without trailers. This is due to the automatic license plate recognition in the toll lane:

▼ In the (regular) toll lane open to all vehicles:

the vehicle licence plate is only ever read from the front. Vehicle license plate numbers of motorcycles cannot be recognised automatically because they are attached to the back of the motorcycle. For passenger cars with trailers, the two license plate numbers differ. The barriers remain closed. In this case, please inform the toll staff of your license plate number. When the toll station is unmanned, press the help button and a member of the service staff will answer. The licence plate number is used to check whether a digital section toll ticket has been purchased or whether the digital section toll FLEX has been activated. If either of these is the case, the barriers will open.

▼ In the section toll lane (usually on the far left):

the license plate numbers are read from the front and back. However, as motorcycle vehicle license plate numbers are on two lines, and in the case of passenger cars with trailers, the two license plate numbers differ, automatic recognition is not possible here. If the barriers do not open automatically, you will be diverted. Use one of the other lanes open for motorcycles or passenger cars and proceed as described above.
