Toll revenue in Macedonia exceeded 31 million euros in six months

In the first half of 2026, revenue from road tolls reached 1.92 billion denars, just over 31 million euros. This is the highest amount recorded for this period.

Compared with the same months last year, revenue increased by 21.9 million denars, or approximately 350,000 euros. Over the course of last year, road tolls generated more than 67 million euros.

The Tetovo toll plaza records the highest number of vehicles, while the highest revenues, based on the amount collected and ticket prices, are recorded at the Rramanli toll plaza near Kumanovo.

After Rramanli, the toll plazas ranked by revenue are Miladinovci, Petrovec, Gllumovo, Zhelino, Tetovo, Stobi, Preod, Gostivar, Sopot, Gevgelija, Kadrifakovo, Otovica and Demir Kapi. /Alsat.mk

Meanwhile, institutions are looking at ways to improve the road toll payment system. The Public Enterprise for State Roads is analyzing the use of electronic TAG devices to register vehicles entering and exiting highways.

Initial attention has focused on the Kičevo–Ohrid road, while the possibility of extending the system to other sections is also being assessed. According to the enterprise, plans also include the highways being built as part of Corridor 8 and Corridor 10d, under the project involving “Bechtel and Enka.”

The institution is considering allowing vehicles to enter and exit at every highway interchange. This would require organizing entry and exit points at the interchanges and adapting the infrastructure so vehicle movements can be recorded and tolls calculated according to the chosen model.

The enterprise notes that such a system requires major construction and technical work, especially in areas where the existing infrastructure does not meet the requirements. Modernizing toll payments is intended to reduce queues and stops, shorten travel times and expand the use of electronic payments.
