You can now see toll-road prices directly within the Yandex Maps app, a development confirmed by the service’s press team. This update gives drivers a clear view of costs and makes it easier to plan trips around possible charges, as reported by RIA News. The feature aims to help users estimate expenses ahead of time or pick routes that minimize tolls when feasible, and it is already live in the latest versions for both iOS and Android devices, empowering motorists to manage travel costs with confidence.
Prices are displayed only for the paid portions of a route that a user chooses to travel on. When tolls vary by time of day, the system also takes arrival time into account to reflect dynamic pricing, enabling smarter planning across different travel windows. For example, a trip started in the morning but requiring a toll segment in the evening will show the fare aligned with the evening rate, supporting daypart-aware decision making.
In September, Yandex announced plans to roll out ultra-detailed Moscow road maps featuring intricate markings and three-dimensional intersections by the end of the year. After introducing this enhanced cartography in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Ufa, the updated maps are expected to broaden to additional Russian cities to improve navigational precision for more users. The expansion would help drivers and pedestrians alike by delivering richer, more actionable map data for urban planning and daily commutes.
Previous statements hinted that Chinese companies might be invited to participate in constructing the Dzhubga-Sochi corridor, signaling potential collaboration on broader infrastructure projects tied to the map service and route planning ecosystem. This suggests a growing, cross-border effort to strengthen transportation networks and the informational backbone that underpins modern navigation tools, benefiting users across Canada, the United States, and international markets that rely on accurate, timely routing intelligence.
