praça de portagem — toll plaza with barriers
A conventional toll barrier across the road: on entry a machine issues a ticket, and on exit you hand it in at the booth or at a machine and pay for the distance travelled in cash or by card. Some lanes are reserved for electronic payment and marked with a large green letter V — you may only use them with a device or with EasyToll or Tollcard set up.
Where you come across it. The A1, A2 and A5, the bridges over the Tagus and other roads under the old concessions.
If you enter through an electronic lane and leave through a manual one without a ticket, you will be charged double the maximum toll at that barrier (Article 6 of Lei n.º 25/2006). The charge can be recalculated later if you submit a written explanation.
