How to Pass Through Highway Toll Stations for Beginners

[LeMiranda]

Methods for beginners to pass through highway toll stations: Before entering the toll station, drivers should closely observe the overhead light signals in the lanes and choose an entrance with a green light. Reduce speed and proceed in an orderly queue, avoiding rushing or competing for lanes. When approaching the toll booth, position the vehicle as close as possible to the toll kiosk, aligning the driver's side window with the toll window to facilitate cash, ticket, or pass card transactions between the toll collector and driver. Toll stations are generally located in two configurations: one is directly on the main highway, also known as barrier-type, typically used at the start or end points of tolled highway sections; the other is situated at interchanges or connecting ramps, commonly employed at grade-separated intersections between tolled highway segments to control vehicles entering or exiting the mainline from intersecting roads.
