MINSK, 17 April (BelTA) – The Belarusian toll road system operator BelToll will not collect the road toll from owners of vehicles with trailers with the technical gross vehicle mass of 3.5 tonnes and less, the company's press service told BelTA.
According to the source, on 10 June – 10 July owners of these vehicles will not have to sign toll road usage contracts, register their vehicles with the BelToll system, and install onboard payment devices.
If a driver has already signed the contract and intends to travel along Belarusian toll roads on 10 June – 10 July, the driver is advised to put the onboard device into protective packaging (a metalized bag), otherwise, the device will make sound signals when the vehicle passes under road toll collection stations.
