Get through the toll booth hassle-free
The signs at the Storebælt Bridge toll booth have different colours to make it easy to see which lane to use.
Green lane: Express
You can use this lane if you use an automatic payment option such as a bizz or number plate payment agreement. If you have an automatic payment agreement by way of a bizz or a number plate payment agreement, your bizz will always be prioritised as your payment method. You can drive at up to 50 km/h through the express lanes.
What do the traffic lights at the toll station mean?
The meaning of traffic lights at the toll station is the same as is generally stated in the Danish highway code: GREEN means “go” and both YELLOW and RED mean “stop”. The lights apply only to the first vehicle and will change as soon as that vehicle has passed the lights. The two sets of lights may therefore apply to two different vehicles.
If the lane is empty, the traffic light in the middle of the lane will flash YELLOW and the traffic light at the barrier will be RED. When a vehicle enters the lane and a valid bizz or number plate is read, both lights will change to GREEN and the barrier will be raised. The vehicle can then continue through without stopping.
If the system cannot read your bizz or number plate, the traffic lights will remain unchanged and you must drive up to the barrier and stop. Here you can call for help or pay in another way. After payment, the traffic light at the barrier will change to GREEN, the barrier will be raised, and you can leave the lane.
If there’s a vehicle ahead of you, it’s important to keep an eye on the traffic lights in the middle of the lane. Once the first vehicle passes the traffic lights in the middle of the lane, they will change from GREEN to YELLOW for the second vehicle (only if the second vehicle does not have a valid bizz or number plate). The traffic light at the barrier continues to show GREEN for the first vehicle until it has passed the barrier, after which it will change to RED if a valid bizz or number plate has still not been read for the second vehicle. The barrier will be lowered as soon as the first vehicle has fully left the lane. The second vehicle must therefore stop at the barrier and call for help or pay in another way at the machine.
If a valid bizz or number plate can be read for two or more vehicles in the lane, they will all be shown a GREEN light in the middle of the lane and at the barrier. The barrier will only be lowered after the last vehicle has left the lane.

Blue lane: Card
In card lanes you can use Danish and foreign payment cards, truck cards, and fuel cards, as well as eBooking, bizz, and number plate payment agreements.
The barrier will open once you have selected your payment method. This enables you to manually select whether you want to pay using your bizz or your number plate payment agreement.
You can use the following cards
American Express, Q8, Dankort, Routex, Diners, Shell (not Shell Private), Electron, YX Truck, JCB, UTA, Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, Circle K, and OK
Yellow lane: Cash
You must use this lane if you want to pay with cash.
In this lane, you must use our self-service terminals where you insert notes and/or coins into terminal to pay for your crossing.
Remember that you can always get assistance by pressing the red help button on the terminal screen. Our customer service agents are always ready to help you.
You can also pay by card, eBooking, bizz, or your number plate payment agreement in the cash lanes. However, it will be quicker to use the card lanes to pay by card.
You can pay with DKK and EUR. You will always receive your change in DKK. The exchange rate will be calculated at the daily exchange rate, plus Storebælt’s exchange costs.

How the price is calculated
When you drive through the Storebælt toll booth, the price is calculated automatically based on the vehicle’s length, weight, and height. When measuring length, towbars and overhanging or loose objects as well as trailers are included.
This means that if you have a bicycle at the back of the car, for example, the bicycle is included in your vehicle’s overall length.
Surcharge for non-payment
If you drive through the toll booth without paying, A/S Storebælt will charge a surcharge of DKK 600 in addition to the regular price.
The same applies if, in connection with using a green discount for commercial vehicles, there are discrepancies between the data registered and the actual vehicle. Also in this case a DKK 600 surcharge will apply.
