Abstract
The article analyzes the experience of Russian cities that provide toll roads charging. Based on the analysis, rates for toll roads were proposed depending on the category of vehicles, corresponding to the volume and quality of services provided to the user of the toll road. Based on the data obtained and the methodology for calculating the rate for vehicles on toll roads, the calculation of the amount of savings received by users when driving a toll road, compared with an alternative free route, was made. The calculation included determining the cost of operating a vehicle when driving through a toll road facility by reducing the consumption of fuel and lubricants, tire wear, repair costs, and other items of operating costs. The advantage for users of toll roads was determined by saving time for delivery of goods and passengers, increasing comfort and traffic safety. Additional attraction of funds through placement of gas stations and advertising is considered. The payback period of the toll road has been determined. The conclusion is made about the need for further research on the problems of development of the network of toll roads.
