FAQ
- How much does it cost to travel along the M11 Highway?
The toll depends on the length of the route, the category of the vehicle, the method of paying for travel (cash / card or transponder), as well as on the time of day (day / night), and day of the week (weekdays / weekends, holidays, and pre-holidays).
- What category does my car belong to?
Vehicle classification is carried out on the basis of Order no. 1751-r dated September 9, 2015 by the Government of the Russian Federation. Vehicle categories are determined using a measuring system: when entering M11 Highway, sensors record the number of axles and the height of your vehicle, and according to these data, cars are classified from the 1st up to the 4th category.
- What payment methods are there?
You can pay for travel in cash, by credit card (Mir, Mastercard, Maestro, Visa, and Visa Electron), contactless means of payment (phone, smart-watch, and other gadgets with NFC). You can also pay toll with any transponder (T-pass, WHSD, 15-58, Main Road). Transponders allow you to drive on specially designated lanes without stopping, as well as receive discounts on tolling up to 40%.
- Why should I pay toll?
Use of the highway is carried out on a toll basis in accordance with the Order no. 1066-r dated June 9, 2015 by the Government of the Russian Federation. The road user pays for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the road.
- What is the toll payment procedure?

!!! NB: if you have a transponder, but entered the highway with a ticket, at the exit from the toll section you drove through, select the lane with payment to the cashier, and show him/ her both the ticket and the transponder.
