The open system is used in the section Pozna\u0144 &#8211; Konin. Drivers pay fixed toll at two Toll Plazas in L\u0105dek and Nagradowice for a given section of the motorway. At L\u0105dek payment refers to the section Wrze\u015bnia &#8211; Konin, while at Nagradowice &#8211; the section Pozna\u0144 &#8211; Wrze\u015bnia. At Go\u0142uski Toll Plaza drivers take ticket and enter the closed system. The ticket entitles the driver to pay single toll for using the motorway at exit through a given Toll Station (Buk, Nowy Tomy\u015bl, Trzciel, Jordanowo, Torzym) or &#8211; in case the trip is all the way to the border in \u015awiecko &#8211; at Tarnawa Toll Plaza. In the opposite direction, from \u015awiecko to Konin, toll collection process is the same, with ticket taken at Tarnawa and payment for the entire stretch from \u015awiecko to Pozna\u0144 made at Go\u0142uski.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                  \n        \n        <li class=\"question\">\n                  <button class=\"question__title\">\n                  Which toll amount applies when a driver produces a ticket from the same Toll Plaza?                  <\/button>\n                  <div class=\"question__answer\">\n                    <p>According to the Motorway Rules:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The user who shall present the entry ticket collected at the same Toll Plaza\/Station shall be subject to a maximum toll applicable at the given Toll Plaza for the relevant vehicle category; in addition a surcharge may apply (excepting certain extraordinary circumstances due to any accident etc. which may have prevented the user from using the toll motorway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                  \n        \n        <li class=\"question\">\n                  <button class=\"question__title\">\n                  Who sets tolls for the new section of the A2 concession?
