What is eFlow?

Understanding Ireland's modern toll collection system

🛣️

Electronic Toll Collection

eFlow is the electronic toll collection system used on the M50 motorway in Ireland. It operates without traditional toll barriers, allowing vehicles to pass through at normal motorway speeds while their journey is automatically recorded.

📍

M50 Barrier-Free Tolling

The system covers the M50 toll plaza located between Junction 6 (N3 Blanchardstown) and Junction 7 (N4 Lucan). Cameras and sensors capture vehicle registration details as you pass through the tolling zone.

🎯

How It Benefits You

No more queuing at toll booths. The barrier-free system reduces congestion, improves traffic flow, and provides a seamless motorway experience. Payment can be made online, by phone, or through automated account systems.
