There are several types of tolls:

There is also another way to finance roads:

With the purpose of reducing congestion caused by manual toll collection, in the 1980s, technology was developed to collect tolls automatically, a system called electronic toll collection or electronic toll collection (ETC). This technology allows users to pass through stations without stopping, reducing speed a little or with a minimum stop. There is also technology that allows stations to be completely eliminated, allowing users to travel by paying a fee per kilometer, through a system of gates and devices installed in vehicles, which requires that every vehicle that wants to circulate on the highway have a device called "transponder" (abbreviation of the English "Transmitter/Responder").

Norway has been the world's pioneer in the widespread use of electronic tolling. The first successful use was in the city of Bergen, in 1986, when it came into operation as a complement to traditional collection with toll booths. The United States is another country that has extensive use of electronic tolls, but only as a complement to manual collection at toll booths.

The 100% electronic systems, without toll stations, have been used only in Toronto, Canada since 1997,[2]​ on several roads in Norway,[3]​ in Melbourne, Australia since 2000,[4]​ in Tel Aviv, Israel also in 2000, and in Santiago de Chile since 2004 and 2005. Noteworthy is the fact that the Chilean system is the first in the world to cross the city's commercial center, on a section of a concessioned urban highway and operates with vehicles traveling at normal speed, (Autopista Central, and the Costanera Norte Highway "Autopista Costanera Norte (Santiago de Chile)")).[5]​.

This technological application has allowed the introduction of policies to regulate congestion based on the collection of urban tolls. The application of congestion pricing has already been used successfully in Singapore in 1998, as an improvement to the manual system implemented in 1975 (see Singapore congestion pricing); London from 2003, and expanded in 2007 (see London City Toll); and Stockholm in 2006 on a trial basis and from 2007 on a permanent basis (see Stockholm congestion tax).

On the toll highways in Europe there are different Electronic Toll systems, depending on the different countries, although the European Commission is trying to unify the techniques to ensure that all the highways in the Union can be traveled with a single system (which would be especially interesting for the British who, because they have the steering wheel of their vehicles on the right, have difficulties with manual payment in the rest of the continent).

En Argentina, los peajes se hicieron comunes en la década de 1990, dentro del programa de privatización de empresas públicas, concesiones y reforma del Estado que llevó a cabo el gobierno del presidente Carlos Menem. De manera similar, en el resto de América Latina se implantaron programas de concesiones, siendo los más amplios en Chile, Brasil (principalmente el Estado de São Paulo) y México. En estos cuatro países el uso de cobro electrónico de peajes por parte de los concesionarios ha sido amplio y exitoso. A continuación una breve lista con algunas de las principales carreteras que utilizan el telepeaje en estos países.

In Argentina, people with disabilities can circulate throughout the national road network without paying tolls, displaying their free pass credential.[2].

They can circulate without paying tolls on the routes that are part of the concessioned national road network and on the accesses to the City of Buenos Aires: North Access, West Access and Riccheri Highway.
