German specific Feature: Flexibility for tolling Main Roads Due to the tolling of the motorways, some trucks diverted to free main roads to avoid paying the toll, causing a nuisance to neighbours (safety, pollution, noise) In order for the trucks to return to the motorways the Bundesrat voted in October 2006 for the tolling of three main roads from January 01, 2007 onwards It was possible to implement this so quickly only with satellite technology, not requiring any ground infrastructure Traffic deviation from the A 7 motorway to the B 4 main road A tolled main road Toll Collect Gmb.
