Last updated: 09.03.2026 Reading time: 10 Minute(s)

What is a toll (requirement)?

Most countries in Europe charge toll fees. This is known as a toll requirement. But what does that mean? For the use of many motorways and expressways as well as tunnels and bridges, so-called toll fees are charged. The funds collected through tolls are invested, for example, in the road network. This helps ensure a smooth journey on your way to your holiday destination. The primary areas of investment include infrastructure, traffic management, road safety and environmental protection measures.

  • Infrastructure: construction and maintenance of roads and motorways
  • Road safety and traffic management: new technologies such as intelligent traffic systems or toll gantries
  • Environmental protection: expansion of noise barriers or measures to reduce emissions
