Toll Barrier
Quick Answer
A toll barrier is a toll point with multiple lanes where all vehicles must pay a fixed rate.
Detailed Explanation
Toll barriers are found in the 'open' toll system, where you pay a fixed rate regardless of distance. They're common on specific sections, connectors, and some ring roads. Unlike closed system toll booths, you don't collect a ticket: you approach, pay, and continue. Barriers have lanes for all payment methods: Telepass, cards, cash. Barrier rates are generally low (€1-3) compared to standard highway tolls.
