At the turn of 2019 and 2020, there was a lot of talk in the Norwegian media about the new road toll system. The public debate in this field was really fierce. According to research by the Norwegian Public Roads Authority (State Highways Authority) residents of Oslo and the surrounding area have a very positive opinion of the new gate fee system. How exactly are the survey results presented? What do the inhabitants of the city like the most? Why are they so positive?

Road tolls in Oslo - clear and legible toll system ...

A new tariff system for toll gates has been introduced in the Oslo area. Drivers evaluate it positively - emphasizing its transparency and clarity. Arild Hermstad (MDG), Oslo councilor in the Department of Environment and Transport, draws attention to the fact that residents of Oslo they approach this topic more and more positively:

I'm glad that more and more people in Oslo like the existing one fee system road. Most people want cleaner, better air public transport, safer roads to school and less car traffic. This is a very good forecast before negotiations begin regarding changes in the Oslo region's toll system, Hermstad said in an email to the NTB news agency. “Negotiations on the new Oslo 3 package started this week.”

However, there are voices of opposition ...

Oslo is definitely like that. However, there are regions in Norway where the changes have not been received so positively. People in Romerike (63rd) have the most negative attitude procent) and in Follo (58 percent). In short - residents of the former Akershus district.

“The most positive reviews are for road tolls in Oslo, Bærum and Asker. The communities of Follo and Romerike are the most negative towards floss road. This is probably due to the fact that both Romerike and Follo were surrounded by a new ring in 2019 toll collection points fare. The quality of the offer also influences the opinion of residents public transport". Fred Anton Mykland, director of Transport-East on the Management Board, assured in a press release Public Roads.
