Motorway Tolls
Motorway tolls are calculated by multiplying the unit tariff specific to the motorway stretches that were crossed (approved by an Interministerial Decree), by the relevant km travelled.
The value resulting from the sum of the amounts calculated above is rounded up to 10 cents of Euro.
The unit tariff is determined according to the characteristics of the infrastructure (plain or mountain motorway) and the type of vehicle used, following the current classification method called “Axles – Shape”.
According to this system, vehicles are therefore divided into five different classes, using two parameters:
The “Shape”, i.e. the height of the vehicle measured at the front wheel axle.
This criterion classifies all two-axle vehicles, which are divided into two classes;
The “Axles”, i.e. the number of axles of the vehicle.
This criterion classifies all vehicles and articulated vehicles with three or more axles, which are divided into the three remaining classes.
Toll Payment
Toll can be paid in cash at the toll booths manned by an operator or through the automatic booths.
Manual booths also accept major foreign currencies, with any change given in Euro.
The currencies accepted on the A4 Turin – Milan Section are:
– Canadian dollar;
– U.S.A dollar;
– Swiss franc;
– Danish krona;
– Norwegian krona;

Payment systems other than cash can also be used on the A4 Turin – Milan Section as well as on most motorways.

In order to give the right to a discount, the journeys must all be made using a single Telepass device.
Service companies and transport consortia are excluded from the offer.
COLLECTION
Motorway tolls can be collected with a “closed” or “open” collection type.
The system is “closed” when the customer collects a ticket at the entry station, which he must then give at the exit station so that the toll can be calculated; the amount is calculated according to the class of the vehicle and the route followed, as determined from the travel ticket.
In an “open” collection system each station controls a specific highway section.
Every time that a customer reaches a station, he pays the toll pertaining to the highway section controlled by that station.
Therefore it is not necessary to have a travel ticket at the entrance, since the toll is calculated on a fixed mileage and only changes according to the class of the vehicle.
The highway station lanes are divided, according to the number of users and the space available, into an appropriate number of manual, automatic, mixed (telepass and cards) and telepass lanes.
