How it works

Electronic toll collection uses sophisticated cameras and sensors to capture an image of your vehicle’s licence plate and assign the correct toll. You can pay by account, online, by phone, or at a self service kiosk. If you don’t have an account you can pay before you travel or up to five days later.
