Notes
- The federal toll law covers goods vehicles above 3.5 tonnes on federal motorways and federal roads. Tolls on privately financed federal roads under the FStrPrivFinG, and on state or local roads, were not checked.
- The federal toll law charges no toll to cars, so there is nothing to pay under it. Payment rules for any other toll were not checked.
