All motorways tolled

December 19, 2011

Portugal has included the last 600 kilometres of motorways in its toll system, which means that all the country’s motorways are now tolled for all vehicles.

There is talk of a system that allows companies that are located near motorways to have a few free trips per year and then a discount system, but this could well be challenged by Spain as discriminating against foreign road users.
