Enters into force with problems “Toll * Portugal”

This Thursday, 8 from December, It has entered into force the new toll motorways in Portugal. Así, from now salmantinos who must travel for business or pleasure to the neighboring country must pay for driving on main roads. The price of each kilometer of highway will at least nine cents, so a trip to Aveiro from Salamanca will cost at least 34 euros return.

The Portuguese government has set for 173 kilometers from the A-25, from Aveiro to Salamanca, a toll of at least 15,65 euros. To use the 178 kilometers from the A-23, located in the Alentejo region will need to disburse 19,3 euros. Users of the A-24, connecting Galicia and Portugal, Verin, will pay 14 euros. For transit through the 130 kilometers from the A-22, linking the tourist area of ​​Algarve Andalusia, It will be paid 11,6 euros.

But, How you should pay the way? There are several options, As detailed SALAMANCA24HORAS published in yesterday's edition. There are prepaid systems for up to five days, especially for foreigners, through electronic cards. There is also a device that is placed on the moon car, with payment electronically. But you can also buy cards at service stations enabled about, in the case of salmantinos in Vilar Formoso, or Correos de Portugal.

This system has generated many questions and the first hours of the new system seem to me somewhat chaotic sense, as there are service areas where drivers go but can not find any device. De facto, Mail to be closed in festive, Vilar Formoso has had to enable emergency card dispenser 24 hours to pay for each of the sixteen arches that make up the total journey.

Hence the questions happen to the Portuguese border at Fuentes de Oñoro, the most common involves how the amount of the fine for not paying the motorway, which is ten times the amount to be paid, and if there is a possibility that the car can be immobilized. Even in some tolls government workers had license plates pointing to not function electronic devices.
