Several Hungarian expressways to become toll roads in 2024!

This will be the last week when we can use several road sections and expressways in Hungary free of charge.

According to telex.hu, Útinform drew attention to the fact that several Hungarian expressways would no longer be free from 1 January, next Monday. The sections affected by the change are the following ones:

• M0, Budapest’s bypass motorway. The southern section of it was free before,
• M4, leading to Budapest Airport, except for its Budapest section,
• the entire section of M44 connecting Békéscsaba and Kecskemét,
• M30, Miskolc’s bypass motorway,
• M31, connecting Budapest with Gödöllő,
• M76 motorway between Balatonszentgyörgy and Fenékpuszta.

That means the only free expressways in 2024 in Hungary will be the following ones:

• M8: it will connect Abony with Balatonfőkajár, but only 8 km of it is ready.
• M9: it is a planned southern ring road connecting the Western parts of Hungary (starting from Nagycenk) with Szeged in Southeast Hungary. However, only 20.6 km of it is ready around Kaposvár. The planned length is cca 330 km.
• M80: the expressway connects Körmend with Szentgotthárd, two towns near the Austrian border in West Hungary. Its length is 28.85 km.
• M60: 32 km of the motorway is ready. In the future, it will connect Pécs with Bóly, where it will be attached to motorway M6. However, only a short, 2-km-long section remains free, between Pécs-West and Pécs.

We wrote HERE that fuel prices will significantly grow in Hungary next January. That is because of a compulsory EU tax regulation. As a result, fuel prices will increase by HUF 41. However, MOL, Hungary’s gas and oil giant, will increase the prices in two steps. They believe that will help the Hungarian families after the Christmas and New Year’s Eve festivities.

2024 will see the introduction of the Hungarian one-day motorway ticket, which will be very expensive. You may find everything you need to know about that in THIS article.
