And anyway, the claim that in Austria "in the immediate vicinity across the border" there is no toll-free pass is a bit strange. We can stay with those in the closest proximity - Korensko sedlo, Ljubelj, Jezersko, Pavlič. All free.

Last year Pordoi free, right at the top, first parking lot on the right up from Arabba, Gardena free, right below the pass, and Falzarego with surroundings. A couple of years ago Mokrine free, today I dare not say, probably still, and Šajda for example, and Monte Croce Carnico and so on... This year Giau along the road equally free, at Pordoi and Fedai I wasn't paying attention, I was on a bike.

And some more Styrian road passes where there are no 'contributions': Weinebene 1668m, Präbichl 1226m, Hirschegger 1553m.
Otherwise they are quite suitable starting points for nearby two-thousanders...

"Parking along the road at Passo Tre Croci is free only if the local police don't come. Italians plan barriers for road passes."
I didn't write about parking along the road, but below the saddle, where there are two large parking lots. At the saddle everything is occupied anyway, if you're not early enough.
On the way back we stopped at Lake Braies. We parked almost right by the lake and paid for 2 hours the same as at the SB Maribor parking! 
Not to mention the prices of chairlifts and cable cars. Cheaper than in Slovenia! A vertical meter on the Tofana cable car costs 2 cents, on the Pohorje cable car 2.2 cents.

Mimi, where does this need come from to repeat wrong information 4x? 
Giau - free
Pordoi - free
3 crosses - free
Of course you have to watch how you park. If half the car is on the road, there might be a greeting. Same if it's marked "private" or "for guests". But surely everyone with a license understands traffic signs?

Those who write that it's paid in Italy haven't been there. Practically all passes are free, otherwise the innkeepers would skin them for losing clientele.
What our babies are inventing at Vršič is unique, and they even reduce the number of parking spaces. I also don't understand how hut managers allow this, as their traffic will drop drastically

I also request info on by what time in the morning from the 7th to the 8th month you need to be at Passo Tre Croci to get a spot along the road.

Already last year, and I see it's repeating. I have to write it down.
Slovenian mountains are wonderful, Slovenia is my homeland, but let's not talk about that…
As some predecessors wrote, I can confirm firsthand (not hearsay). Four years in a row in Dolomites for 5 days each (just returned this year), every day to some mountains, paid parking only 2X! (without worrying about a fine on the tour). Even that I paid both times because in the morning I didn't notice the slightly lower free parking, which would extend the path by approx. 5 min. At Lake Braies everything paid but for five minutes' walk from the lake 7 € daily. Of course if you want to park right by the lake then 15 €. We walked a bit and "earned" for a drink . For now in Dolomites you have to manage a bit, be early and it goes. But I believe locals have a bit too many of us (tourists) but many live off it and not badly.
No problem for me to pay parking e.g. most often in Završnica or at Prtovč (where they have raised prices a bit lately), but e.g. 20 € for Vogar and Vrata.
And also, if I pay (although I honestly pay taxes to state and municipality and something could be financed from that) I think the parking should at least have WC and drinking water (which e.g. Završnica parking has, praiseworthy).
Don't hold it against me if I'm a bit longer. One more fresh experience with so promoted public transport. We went with wife from Bohinj via Triglavs to Prehodavci and to Trento. First you need a good soul to drive you from home to Bohinj. There we went to Vogar by bus midweek full, passengers standing. In Trenta mid main season last bus at 16:02!, so we practically ran from Prehodavci and caught it just in time (still 24.5 km walk and some elevation). Driver not guilty, they give him small bus, already in Trenta packed, at Vršič I don't know how he got everyone in, we were like sardines . Hats off to driver that he didn't refuse them (would pay fine for overcrowded bus without standing room if stopped). Last year the "big" bus went over Vršič and no problem. Anyway they promote public transport, then save on buses, not to mention the timetables (almost useless for hikers). And Mokrine are still free at least in summer, checked a week ago.

Mimi, I didn't want to use that word, but since it's already in circulation..."idiots" also on Pokljuka pay fines next to free parking
In the last 7-8 years I've spent nearly 50 days in Dolomites, maybe even more. I paid parking only 2x, Fischlein/Fiscalina 8€ full day and Lake Braies 10€ full day. In both cases it would be free parking a bit lower.
Here on hribi.net there are tons of Dolomites descriptions. Many of mine too. I usually write about parking, if nothing special written then the above applies

Years ago, still in Yugo when we went to Bologna fair just to look at gear, parking around fair was free. Only one of us paid once, our buddy someone approached with a bag and took money for parking recognized him as potential victim via Z101. Now for this year don't know about Dolomites, wasn't there, and don't plan
to go end July or August during rush. Written too many times about paid spots there and in Carnia.

Lots of talk and little done, I'd say after Saturday bike ride to the pass from Kranjska Gora. At this pace unlikely to finish works this year. Barriers were raised and only that road section is done.

For Falzarego I'd add that paid parking is just about 30% (or less) of capacity at the pass, all else free.

Hello, if I understand correctly, is the road to Vrata closed all winter, even if there isn't much snow? Thanks for reply and best regards

Road closed for traffic, hikers and tourists go comfortably to the hut and further . . . On foot, of course.
