Brazil Sets Monday Deadline for Drivers to Settle Free‑Flow Toll Debts

The Contran suspension ends to return fines and five CNH points to unpaid passages while keeping cancellation and refund routes for drivers who pay by the cutoff.

Overview

  • The Contran grace period ends on Monday, November 16, and drivers who do not settle outstanding free‑flow tolls by that date will face restored enforcement from November 17.
  • Unpaid passages older than 30 days will again be treated as evasão de pedágio, carrying a R$195.23 fine and five points on the CNH when formal autuações resume.
  • Motorists must check passages in the CNH app or the concessionária apps (for example Nova 381 on BR‑381) and pay only through the channels indicated by the responsible concessionária.
  • Drivers who pay their tolls by the deadline can request cancellation of related infractions and pursue refunds for fines via ANTT and gov.br procedures, and those who already paid may also apply for reimbursement.
  • The government is sending WhatsApp notices to registered numbers as it presses motorists to act before the deadline for millions of pending charges nationally, including more than 2 million on BR‑381 and about 1.3 million cases already regularized after payment.
