E-VIGNETTE USER GUIDE 2016 E-VIGNETTE ROAD USE AUTHORIZATION The e-vignette user charge system applies to motorcycles, passenger cars and their trailers, as well as cargo vehicles with a maximum permissible gross weight of 3.5 tons, campers and buses, and their trailers. These vehicles are authorized to use the Hungarian toll speedway network’s roads exclusively with pre-purchased – purchased prior to entering a toll speedway section – road use authorization, i.e. e-vignettes. The amount of toll charges depends on the category of the vehicle and the type of the e-vignette. The category of the motor vehicles must be determined according to the official entry that appears in the vehicle registration certificate, based on the maximum permissible gross weight of the motor vehicle and the number of persons it is allowed to transport. From 1 January 2016, changes have been introduced with respect to the toll speedway network and the toll-free sections, therefore, we request you to study the information below in detail. For further details, please visit the www.toll-charge.hu website, where you find the maps of the toll speedway network that may be used with an e-vignette. For additional information, please call our Call Center at +36 (36) 587-500.

D1M D1 D2 U B2 VALIDITY PERIODS OF E-VIGNETTES Weekly authorization: valid on the starting day designated by the customer and 9 consecutive days, for a total of 10 consecutive calendar days until midnight of the 10th day. Monthly authorization: valid from the starting day designated by the customer until midnight of the day of the same number in the following month. If there is no such day in the month of expiry, then to midnight of the last day of the month. Annual authorization: valid from the first day of the relevant year to midnight on 31 January of the following year (for a total of 13 months if the purchase takes place on 1 January of the relevant year). The annual vignette authorizes road use from the time of purchase and is not valid retroactively. REGIONAL E-VIGNETTE In addition to the usual time-based national vignettes (weekly/10-day, monthly and annual), there is also a territory-based annual e-vignette type, the regional vignette, available for vehicles in Categories D1M, D1, D2, U and B2, with which the toll speedway network of a county may be used. For each vehicle, several regional e-vignettes can be purchased. The validity period of this e-vignette type is the same as the validity period of the annual authorization. The scope of validity of the regional vignette extends outside the relevant county, up to the first junction past the county border. For detailed information on the territorial validity of the regional vignettes according to junction numbers and road section numbers, please see the “Road Network” menu item at the www.toll-charge.hu website. Annual regional vignettes may be purchased for the following counties (having a toll speedway network) Bács-Kiskun County, Baranya County, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, Csongrád County, Fejér County, Győr-Moson-Sopron County, Hajdú-Bihar County, Heves County, Komárom-Esztergom County, Pest County, Somogy County, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, Tolna County, Veszprém County, Zala County IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT E-VIGNETTES Road use authorization must be purchased prior to entering a toll speedway section. E-vignette purchases may not be applied with retroactive validity. In the case of a purchase within the validity period, the starting date of validity is the date of purchase. If you purchase more than one e-vignette at a time, please make sure that you have specified the dates of your journeys (uses) precisely. UNAUTHORIZED ROAD USE Driving without valid road use authorization on a road section subject to e-vignette toll qualifies as unauthorized road use, and results in excess charge payment in each of the vehicle categories regulated above. Road use is also considered unauthorized • if the road use authorization was purchased for the wrong category, i.e. an additional trailer is towed by a bus with a Category B2 authorization (instead of B2+U), or a Category D1 weekly or monthly authorization was purchased for a passenger car for 8 or more persons instead of Category D2; • if the registration number and/or the country code indicated on the control slip or in the confirming notification is not identical with the actual registration number and/or country code of the vehicle; • if you have an annual authorization for a given county but you do not use it between the junctions specified in the decree, i.e. you use the toll road network of another county. In case of electronic purchase of the road use authorization, the confirming notification serves as a proof of purchase. In order to avoid unauthorized road use, please always check the following on your control slip when making your purchase: registration number, country code, vehicle category and validity period. AMOUNTS OF THE EXCESS CHARGE D1, D2, U B2 DEADLINE FOR PAYMENT HUF 14,875 HUF 66,925 within 30 days HUF 59,500 HUF 267,700 over 30 days Regarding excess charge payment, please see the “E-vignette information and purchase/excess charge” menu item at the www.toll-charge.hu website, or visit any of our customer service offices in person.

In the same manner, the phenomenon of a “missing link” may be considered as a situation in which the quality of service has extremely low values due to the fact that no direct link exists between two points. As described in the above-mentioned document, as a simplified method, for individual road categories, one may take the following capacities in terms of number of vehicles as the average daily traffic: − 4-lane motorway: 40,000 – 60,000 PCU/24 hrs − roads of 2 lanes: 8,000 – 12,000 PCU/24 hrs As in the case of roads, there are a great number of factors determining the bottlenecks on a railway line. It is practically impossible to concentrate all elements in a single bottleneck measure. In order to reach practical measures it appeared appropriate to take the following capacity limits: TRANS/WP.5/2005/16/Add.8 page 2 − Single track main lines: 1 x 60 – 80 trains/day − Double track main lines: 2 x 100 – 200 trains/day According to that definition, the bottlenecks regarding the Hungarian TEN road network are described below.

  • Are Motorways Good for the Hungarian Economy?

    Are Motorways Good for the Hungarian Economy?

    Are motorways good for the Hungarian economy? by András Lukács Clean Air Action Group, Hungary www.levego.hu Budapest, 2003 Are motorways good for the Hungarian economy? by András Lukács (Clean Air Action Group) „...what does the EU give to Hungary, and what do we spend the money on? I agree with those who say that at most 30 per cent of the received funds should be spent on boosting the economy, and 70 per cent should be invested into the Hungarian society itself. The newly admitted countries invested a substantial part of the money from the Structural and Cohesion Funds into their infrastructure, the only exception being Ireland. They spent 80 per cent of the EU support on education, on building a knowledge-based society. Look at them now, how far the Irish have reached!” István Fodor, President of Ericsson Hungary, and Chairman of the Hungarian EU Enlargement Business Council („Üzleti 7”, 16th December 2002) Hungarian Governments of the recent years, one after the other, tried to outdo their predecessors by planning to build even more motorways. On this issue there is a consensus among all the political parties of the Hungarian Parliament. At the same time more and more people question the rationality of these investments, but such opinions hardly gain any publicity. Will motorways improve accessibility? One of the main reasons usually brought forward to support the construction of motorways is that they will improve accessibility to the region concerned. Of course, if we only compare the time that cars, buses or trucks spend on the motorway with the time of travelling on parallel roads, this statement holds true in general.

It was supported by the dynamic increase of foreign trade of the NMS, which increased more than the EU average. Thus, the share of this region in foreign trade also grew. The value of the goods exported from the Central and Eastern Euro- pean countries increased and in line with that tendency, the role of logistics services augmented. The transportation and logistics market has grown by double-digit figure for several years which reflects well the dynamism of this market. In line with the increasing oil prices the costs of transporters also grew. The increase of oil prices seems to be a permanent process with which the actors of the sector have to reckon. In the first half of 2005 the transportation sector in Hungary reached a significant growth mainly due to the outstanding performance of the international transportation (approximately +25%). The annual growth of the sector was more than 18% which is significantly higher than the average of the previous years (2.5-4.5%).

PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS Pál Raczky, Alexandra Anders A u t h o r s’ a d d r e s s e s: Eötvös Loránd University, Institute of Archaeological Sciences, 4/B Múzeum körút, 1088 Budapest, Hungary, e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. In this study, we summarise the preliminary results of thirty years of investigations at the Polgár-Bosnyákdomb site. The significance of the site located on the one-time bank of the Tisza River is that it lies no more than 5 km away from the well-known Polgár-Csőszhalom settlement com- plex. One of our goals was to investigate the relation between the settlements in the Polgár Island micro-region and to identify the similarities and differences between them. It is quite obvious that with its estimated 70 hectares large extent, Polgár-Csőszhalom was a dominant settlement complex in this landscape during the earlier fifth millennium, while the Bosnyákdomb settlement, represented an entirely different scale with its 8 hectares and had a different role during this period. The AMS dates provide convincing evidence that the two settlements had been occupied simultaneously during one period of their lives. Despite their spatial proximity and chronological contemporaneity, the two settlements had a differing structural layout. Although both had a prominent stratified settlement mound that was separated from the single-layer settlement part by a ditch, the system of the ditches, their structure and, presumably, their social use differed substantially.

    GÉZA NOVÁK – TAMÁS VARSÁNYI The transport situation in the Great Plain Introduction Today transport plays a crucial role in our socio-economic life. In the two regions which comprise the Great Plain transport as a sector constitutes a significant share of overall GDP (5%). Transport affects the competitiveness of regions and therefore the quality of life. Good transport stimulates company activities, attracts direct investment, improves purchasing and distribution, and enables the realisation of extra income through international trade. Good transportation infrastructure supports the development of rural areas and promotes the convergence of regions. As a result of travelling between settlements or commuting, public transport fosters the mobility of the workforce. The quality of public transport affects employment and schooling in different geographical areas, and access to services which are limited in a given area. This study analyses the transport situation in the Northern Great Plain and Southern Great Plain regions. (The two regions are referred to hereafter as the Great Plain.) The paper presents the structure and quality of the road system, and the accessibility by road of Hungarian settlements. Furthermore, we highlight the features of rail, air and waterway transport. Road transport The role of road transport is salient both in passenger and freight traffic. In Hungary road transport accounts for two thirds of total freight transport and 46% of interurban passenger traffic, and it is the main form of local transport as well. The structure and density of the road network Hungary’s road network has a radial structure with Budapest as its centre, and this structure affects the road system in the Great Plain as well.
