Trailer

Quick Answer

Vehicles with trailers pay higher tolls based on total axle count and have reduced speed limits of 80 km/h.

Detailed Explanation

When towing a trailer on Italian highways, the vehicle classification changes. The toll is calculated on the total number of axles of the vehicle combination. Car + 1-axle trailer = 3 total axles = Class 3. Car + 2-axle trailer = 4 total axles = Class 4. The speed limit for vehicles with trailers is 80 km/h. Telepass automatically detects the configuration. Important: sensors may not detect very light or low trailers, causing incorrect classification.
