Payment by banknotes at machine
(none)
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that you can pay with banknotes at a payment machine. Choose the lane or payment point covered by the sign, stop at the machine and follow the payment instructions before continuing.
Rules
- Sign 792.15 provides information about the payment method “banknotes at a machine” and does not itself indicate the amount to be paid.
- When the sign is placed above or beside a particular lane, you must use that lane if you want to pay with banknotes.
- Payment is made at a machine, not necessarily to an attendant.
- You must follow the machine’s instructions regarding accepted banknotes, insertion and confirmation that payment has been completed.
- The sign does not give you permission to pass without paying if the machine rejects the banknote; use another available payment method or follow the instructions at the location.
Tips
- Have a suitable banknote ready before reaching the machine, without losing your focus on the traffic.
- Reduce your speed early and choose the correct payment lane in good time.
- Check which denominations the machine accepts and whether it gives change.
- Wait for a receipt, light signal or raised barrier before continuing.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that the sign indicates a staffed toll station; the word “machine” means that payment is made at a machine.
- Thinking that all banknote denominations are always accepted or that the machine always gives change.
- Confusing the sign with a direction sign; it provides information about the payment method, not the destination or direction of travel.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be interpreting the sign as “cash payment to an attendant”. The correct meaning is more precise: payment with banknotes at a machine.
Did you know
Sign 792.15 is an information symbol for the payment method and can be used together with other signs at toll and payment facilities. It makes it possible to distinguish lanes for banknote payment from lanes for, for example, cards, coins or electronic payment.
Frequently asked questions
Does the sign mean that I can pay with coins?
No, sign 792.15 specifically indicates payment with banknotes at a machine. Coins can only be used if other signs or information at the machine state that they are accepted.
Are all Norwegian banknotes accepted by the machine?
Not necessarily. You must check the information on the machine to see which denominations and banknotes are accepted.
Can I choose this lane if I only have a payment card?
You should choose a lane that explicitly indicates card payment or another payment method you can use. A lane marked only with 792.15 is intended for payment with banknotes at a machine.
Can I continue immediately after inserting the banknote?
You must wait until the machine indicates that the payment has been approved and until any barrier has opened. Follow the lights, text and other instructions at the payment point.
