Return ticket in a closed payment system
(none)
When you see the sign
Choose the marked lane if you have a ticket from the entrance to the closed payment system. Stop at the payment point, hand over or insert the ticket as instructed, and wait until the payment has been registered and any barrier opens.
Rules
- The sign indicates a payment point where the ticket you received at the entrance must be handed over.
- The ticket must be kept throughout the journey so that the entry point can be registered when exiting.
- Follow the lane and payment method indicated by the signs at the facility.
- Do not continue until payment has been completed and a signal or barrier indicates that you may pass.
Tips
- Have the ticket ready before you reach the payment point, but without losing focus on the traffic.
- Reduce your speed early and choose the correct lane in good time.
- Check whether the ticket should be handed to an attendant or inserted into a machine.
- If the ticket is lost or damaged, use the help button or contact the staff instead of reversing or changing lanes abruptly.
Common misconceptions
- Some people confuse the sign with a sign indicating that they should take a new ticket. Here, the ticket from the entrance must be handed over.
- Some people think the sign merely indicates a destination or an exit. It indicates a specific function at the payment facility.
- Some people choose the lane even though they use a different payment solution; the driver must follow the signs for the correct payment method.

Theory test tip
Pay attention to the verb «hand over». A typical trap is to choose the answer option «take a ticket», but sign 792.17 applies to handing over or inserting the ticket at the payment point.
Did you know
In a closed payment system, the ticket records where the vehicle entered, so that the payment can be calculated when exiting. This differs from toll crossings where a fixed fee or electronic registration is used without a ticket.
Frequently asked questions
What does a closed payment system mean?
It is a system where the entry point is recorded, usually with a ticket, and payment is made upon exit. The ticket is used to determine which section of the route has been travelled.
Should I take or hand over a ticket at this sign?
You should hand over or insert the ticket you have already received. The sign does not mean that you should take a new ticket.
Can I use the lane if I do not have a ticket?
You should choose another marked lane if the payment facility offers a suitable option. If you are already at the payment point, you must contact the staff or use the help function, and not reverse.
Is the sign a regular direction sign?
No, it indicates a function and payment method at a payment facility. It does not in itself show the direction to a destination, as a regular direction sign does.
