Toll Road
The sign indicates that it is a toll road where a fee is charged.
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign you should prepare to pay a fee for the continued journey and follow additional instructions at the entrance. Check whether you must stop at a barrier or whether passage is automatic and ensure your payment method is ready before you pass.
Rules & Regulations
- The sign indicates that the current road section is a toll road where a fee is charged for passage.
- The toll must be paid according to the payment method indicated at the entrance (barrier, automatic camera registration, payment machine, or app).
- If the fee is not paid, the vehicle may be charged afterwards and additional administrative fees or penalties may be applied in accordance with applicable regulations.
- The meaning of the toll road sign does not affect other traffic rules such as speed limits or right-of-way — these are governed by other signs.
Tips for Drivers
- Read the signage at the entrance carefully to see which payment method applies and prepare payment before you pass.
- Be aware whether passage involves a barrier with a requirement to stop, or whether automatic camera registration is used where you do not need to stop.
- If you use a tag or account-based solution (e.g., transponder or automatic registration), ensure the correct vehicle and registration number are linked to avoid being charged afterward.
- Slow down in good time and follow the marked lanes at toll stations as queues can form easily and lane changes may be prohibited.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming there is always a physical barrier where you must stop — many toll roads use automatic camera registration.
- Confusing a toll road with congestion charges or other fees; a toll road refers to a fee for a specific road section, not necessarily a city's congestion charge.
- Believing that certain vehicles are automatically exempt without checking local regulations or signage on the specific section.

Exam Tip
In the theory test you may get a question comparing toll roads and congestion charges — remember that a toll road refers to a fee for a specific road section and is shown with E25, while congestion charging is a zone-based fee in some cities and has different signage and handling.
Did You Know?
The E25 'Toll Road' sign is used relatively rarely and appears mainly at bridges, tunnels, or privately financed road sections where a specific fee is charged; the sign indicates directly that that particular road section requires payment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I always have to stop when I see a toll road sign?
No, it depends on the payment system. If there is a barrier or payment machine you must stop and pay, but many toll roads use automatic camera registration where you can pass without stopping.
Does the fee apply to all vehicles?
Usually the fee applies to all vehicles using the road section, but exceptions may occur according to local regulations. Check signage or current traffic information for any exceptions.
How do I pay if I am a temporary visitor or tourist?
Many toll roads accept several payment methods such as payment machines, apps, or payment based on registration number afterwards. Read the information at the entrance or search the operator's website for instructions on payment for visitors.
Can I get fined if I don't pay on a toll road?
Yes, if the fee is not paid you may be charged afterwards and an administrative fee or other penalties may be added according to the operator's and authorities' rules. It is important to follow the payment instructions to avoid extra costs.
