Take ticket in a closed payment system
(none)
When you see the sign
Enter the lane covered by the sign and take a ticket at the entrance to the toll area. Keep the ticket until you exit, as it documents where you entered and is used to calculate the charge.
Rules
- The sign indicates that you must take a ticket at the entrance to a closed payment system.
- The ticket must be kept throughout the entire section subject to payment and handed in or scanned at the exit.
- You must follow lane markings, traffic lights, barriers and any instructions from staff at the payment facility.
- You may only choose another payment lane if the signs show that your method of payment, such as an electronic tag or card, is accepted there.
Tips
- Slow down early and choose the lane with the ticket symbol if you need a ticket.
- Stop close enough to the machine to take the ticket without opening the door or stepping into the carriageway.
- Keep the ticket somewhere safe and easily accessible, but not where it obstructs your view.
- Look for payment information before the exit so that your card or other payment method is ready.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign means that the charge must be paid immediately, but in a closed system, the ticket is taken at the entrance and payment is normally made at the exit.
- The sign is confused with a direction sign or information board, even though it indicates a specific payment action rather than a destination.
- Some assume that electronic payment is always registered automatically, but they must follow the signs for the lane in question.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be the difference between taking a ticket and paying. Sign 792.16 means that you must take a ticket at the entrance to a closed system, not necessarily pay there.
Did you know
Closed payment systems usually calculate the charge based on the entrance and exit points. The sign is uncommon on Norwegian roads because most Norwegian toll plazas use automatic electronic registration, but the symbol may occur at special payment facilities.
Frequently asked questions
What is a closed payment system?
It is a system in which the entrance point is recorded by means of a ticket, and the charge is calculated when you exit. The amount may therefore depend on how far you have driven within the payment area.
Do I pay when I take the ticket?
Normally, no. You take the ticket at the entrance and pay or register it at the exit, unless other information at the site states otherwise.
What should I do if the machine does not issue a ticket?
Do not reverse or change lanes if this could create a hazard. Use the facility's help telephone or call for assistance, and follow the signals and instructions at the site.
Can I use a lane marked for electronic payment instead?
Only if the signs show that your vehicle or payment method can use the lane. If you are unsure and the sign requires a ticket, you must choose the ticket lane and take a ticket.
