What is e-TOL and how does the payment for the A24/Blankenburg connection work?

e-TOL is an electronic toll system used in some countries to facilitate the payment of road tolls. This system allows for automatic detection and payment of tolls without stopping at a toll booth.

On the new A24/Blankenburg connection, for example, a photo of your number plate is automatically taken so that you can continue your journey without any problems.
