A Comparison of Usage Costs of Roads in Selected EU Countries

Abstract:

At present member states of the European Union apply a few different systems of collection of fares for riding individual types of roads. In spite of the fact that systems of collection of payments in each of member states are working on the same provisions included in Directive 1999/62/EC, amount of rates for riding roads in individual states develops on different level and is being determined on every state’s domestic legislation or regulations of individual roads’ private operators. In this article Authors presented cost analysis of using road infrastructure in chosen member states of the European Community creating a cost map of using road infrastructure in European road transport of goods.
