Implementation of the Road Tax Payment System in Kosovo: A Focus on Highways R6 and R7

Session

Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment

Description

This paper analyzes the need for an advanced and sustainable road user payment system in Kosovo, with a particular focus on its role in financing the maintenance, development, and expansion of national road infrastructure. Road tolling is recognized as a key instrument for traffic management and road safety, providing a stable and transparent source of revenue for the relevant authorities. The study explores the integration of modern technologies, such as electronic payment systems, automated number plate recognition (ANPR), and sensorbased vehicle monitoring, to enable efficient, accurate, and transparent toll collection. A central focus is the potential integration of the toll system with existing traffic management infrastructure and road safety systems mechanisms, as well as its alignment with broader sustainable transport policies. By concentrating on the R6 and R7 highways, the study offers a practical framework for phased implementation and highlights the system’s potential impact on infrastructure quality, traffic regulation, and citizens' quality of life. Despite expected implementation challenges, the findings suggest that a well-designed tolling system could significantly contribute to the sustainable development of Kosovo’s transport sector and enhance efficiency within the road infrastructure domain.
