Quick facts

Target: Full cashless lanes on M50 plazas by end of Q3
Focus: Seamless tag recognition, ANPR fallback & invoicing
Impact: Faster throughput, reduced queues, better compliance

Overview

E-toll flow partners with local authorities and toll operators to upgrade plaza infrastructure, improve tag interoperability and enable cashless lanes while preserving account management and invoice options for untagged vehicles.

Our plan balances hardware upgrades (tag readers, cameras), software (ANPR, back-office reconciliation) and customer communications to ensure Ireland's M50 keeps traffic flowing.

Rollout Roadmap

Planned phases for Q3 implementation. Each phase coordinates testing windows, public communications and contingency measures.

Phase 1 — Preparation

Hardware procurement, tag-reader calibration, partner onboarding (Weeks 1–2)

Phase 2 — Pilot

Pilot plazas open with limited lanes for live testing (Weeks 3–6)

Phase 3 — Full Rollout

All plazas switched to cashless-first operations; ANPR billing supports untagged vehicles (Weeks 7–12)

Project lead: Siobhán O'Connor — Head of Implementation

FAQ

Untagged vehicles will be captured by ANPR and issued an invoice to the registered keeper. We provide a grace process and an online portal to query or pay ANPR charges.

Yes — while plazas move to cashless-first, customer service channels and online payment options remain available. Signage and marshals will assist during the pilot phases.

Fleet integration is via our Fleet eToll Integration program. It includes tag provisioning, API access for reconciliation and consolidated invoicing. Visit the Fleet integration page or contact our team for onboarding.
