You must take a ticket at the entrance of the motorway and hand it over at the exit toll station to get the toll price.
In the open system, a flat fee is paid at the toll station, independent of the distance travelled. Following motorways have an open toll system

In case of loss of the ticket or not returning the ticket at the exit toll station, a non-payment slip is provided and the toll will be calculated from the farthest entry station.
