Toll road network in Belarus
ATTENTION!
Dear motorists, we are pleased to inform you that pursuant to sub-clause 2.12 of clause 2 of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 292 dated 24 July 2018 “On arrangements to prepare for and hold the Second European Games in 2019”, users of toll roads using motor vehicles with a maximum laden weight not exceeding 3.5 tons and trailers towed by them shall be exempted from toll payments from 10 June through 10 July 2019.
Use of toll roads during that period for the said category of vehicles shall require no contract for the use of toll roads, no registration of a vehicle in the BelToll system, and no installation of an OBU on the vehicle.
IF you already HAVE A CONTRACT and you plan to use toll roads from 10 June through 10 July 2019, the OBU can be placed in protective packaging (metallized bag); otherwise the device will emit signals when passing under toll collection gantries that will need to be followed according to the user manual. Anyway, payment WILL NOT BE CHARGED on your account.
However, please note that starting at 00:00 on 11 July 2019, passage on toll roads in Belarus will be according to the regular procedure; i.e. obligations to pay the toll will apply to the following categories of vehicles:
— motor vehicles with a maximum laden weight exceeding 3.5 tons;
— vehicles with a maximum laden weight not exceeding 3.5 tons registered in the countries beyond the Eurasian Economic Union (Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia)
For more details on the rules for the use of toll roads in Belarus, please visit the official website of the electronic toll collection system BelToll at www.beltoll.by.
Starting from 1 November, 2016, toll will be applied to new road sections in the Republic of Belarus:
— the P-23 Minsk-Mikashevichi road from km 80.480 to km 99.766;
— the M-5/E 271 Minsk-Gomel road from km 130.256 to km 212.14. The total length of toll roads will thus amount to km 1.614.
Since August 1st 2013 the electronic toll collection system BelToll has been put into commercial operations in Belarus.
As of November 1st 2016, the total length of the toll roads in Belarus amounts to 1614 km.
The use of the “BelToll” system is compulsory for drivers, steering the following types of vehicles:
– vehicles (passenger cars and minibuses) with Maximum Laden Weight less than 3.5 tons, registered outside of the Customs Union;
– other vehicles (trucks, buses and motor homes) with Maximum Laden Weight of over 3.5 tons.
Vehicles with Maximum Laden Weight not exceeding 3.5 tons registered inside the Customs Union are not liable to pay the toll fee.
The following categories of vehicles are also exempted from the electronic toll payment:
– motorbikes and motorcycles;
– wheeled tractors and self-propelled vehicles, registered on the territory of the Republic of Belarus;
– special operation vehicles;
– vehicles used for the purposes of ensuring the defensive capacity and enforcement of the law;
– fixed-route taxis used for urban transportation of passengers;
– vehicles used for delivery of medical care, emergency response or transportation of humanitarian aid.
The amount of toll depends on vehicle’s maximum laden weight and number of axles.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Belarus imposed the following rates for the calculation of toll fees collected on the toll roads depending on vehicle’s Maximum Laden Weight and number of axles:
– vehicles with a maximum laden weight not exceeding 3.5 tons – 0.04 euro/km;
– 2-axle motor vehicles with a maximum laden weight of over 3.5 tons – 0.09 euro/km;

– 4-axle (and more) motor vehicles with a maximum laden weight of over 3.5 tons – 0.145 euro/km.
For the usage of the electronic toll collection system “BelToll” drivers need to register in the system, sign a contract and rent an Onboard Unit (OBU). It can be done in one of the Customer Service Points (Customer Service Points current addresses and their working hours are available at www.beltoll.by).
