How does e tolling work

Electronic tolling uses a small electronic tag which is placed in the vehicle and is detected each time the vehicle passes through the plaza. The electronic tolling system will automatically recognise the correct toll for the class of vehicle you are driving. Most Tag Providers use the eToll Interoperability system which means a driver will only need one tag for tolling facilities in Ireland.

We recommend that only one tag should be installed in each vehicle. Drivers with more than one tag need to be aware that only one tag will be read through random selection. Therefore, it is advised that drivers choose a preferred tag to be placed properly within their car. If you prefer not to use a tag, but wish to use the M50, eFlow offer a Video Account option. When your vehicle passes under the tolling point, an image is taken of your registration number plate and the toll amount fee is automatically deducted from your video account.

Video tolling systems allows a vehicles license plate number to be extracted from an image either by using Automatic Number Plate Recognition ANPR technology or manual checking. In Ireland video tolling is used in conjunction with the M50open road tolling, as a means to allow drivers without electronic tags to use the toll road.
