  3. Toll payment in Belarus 2024

    Belarus has an automatic BelToll system which is compulsory for all drivers of cars and trucks. This does not apply to vehicles under 3.5 t, which are registered in EEU (Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia).

    Payment requires an On Board-Unit (OBU), which must be installed in the car. When the driver passes through the toll gate, the electronic toll collection system will automatically draw money from the driver’s OBU user account. The car does not need to slow down, stop or use dedicated lanes. There are 3 types of OBUs for different types of vehicles.

    From December 15, 2020, it is possible to utilize an electronic vignette. The electronic vignette is intended for vehicles not exceeding 3.5 t. You can buy the electronic vignette on the official website of the toll system operator BelToll.by.

  5. Speeding fines in Belarus 2024

    In Belarus beware of corrupt police officers lurking around every corner! They will ask you for a bribe, and sometimes it is better to give it to them, as you may be unpleasantly escorted to the station and spend five hours there.

    Also pay attention to the prohibition of smoking in the vehicle and the use of the designated road, if you only transit through the country. It is worth knowing the official fine rates and threatening the office with contacting the British Embassy if necessary. We do not recommend violating any laws and regulations.

    • 20-30 km/h: €18,4750 Br
