Toll roads in Norway information


The Norwegian sign for toll road, road sign 765. The "Kr" symbol is added on direction signs on roads leading to toll stations. This is the only sign posted prior to the station itself except for in city areas where a new 560-zone sign is posted on city limits.

Road tolling to finance bridges, tunnels and roads has a long history in Norway. The cities Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim introduced toll rings between 1986 and 1991 as a means to discourage urban traffic and to finance infrastructure projects around those cities.[1] Today toll rings circumscribe Oslo, Kristiansand, Stavanger, Haugesund, Bergen, Askøy, Bodø, Harstad, Grenland, Førde and Trondheim. Besides toll rings, road tolls are installed to finance certain road projects, and often also on the existing road to discourage people from using it. Some tolls use congestion pricing and/or environmentally differentiated toll rates.

There is an ongoing reform of the road toll sector, proposed by Prime minister Solberg's Cabinet. The toll reform has four parts: a reduction of the number of toll road operators, separation of the toll service provision for tolls and ferry tickets from the toll road operators, an interest compensation scheme for toll road loans, and a simplification of the price and discount schemes.[2]
