Public Enterprise “Roads of Serbia”, the Sector for Toll Collection, performs the collection of fees for the use of highway (tolls). Toll collection is performed in the closed system on all highway sections.
Toll collection is performed on highways in the length of 875.845km in total. It is performed using an automatic technical toll collection system consisting of 70 toll stations.
The base for toll collection is the length of public road expressed in kilometers (km). The road toll price is determined based on three criteria: road toll price per kilometer, vehicle category and the distance travelled. Toll collection system is applied on the following highway sections:
- Belgrade - Šabac - Šid
- Belgrade - Subotica
- Belgrade – Koševi – Preševo - Dimitrovgrad
- Belgrade - Čačak
The users can choose between manual toll payment (with taking a mandatory magnetic card) and electronic payment (using an ETC device).
Users of manual toll collection system are obligated to take a magnetic card when entering the toll collection system and hand the card, based on which the toll collection is performed, over to the toll booth operator at the exit toll station.
Users of electronic toll collection system, i.e. contactless payment model, use gates marked for that type of toll payment (ENP/ETC) and pay the toll using an ETC device, without stopping or taking a magnetic card.
A user who possesses an ETC device in his/her vehicle, and for some reason takes a magnetic card at the entry toll station and pays the toll using the ETC device, is obligated to hand the card over to the operator in charge at the exit toll station.
Manual toll collection users can choose the following methods of payment:
- CASH
- PAYMENT CARDS (VISA, VISA ELECTRON, MASTERCARD, MAESTRO, POSTCARD, DINACARD)
- PREPAID SEASON TICKETS (MONTHLY AND ANNUALLY)
- CITY PASSES
Electronic toll collection users use ETC devices as a payment method in:
- PREPAID and
- POSTPAID system
