Abstract

This synthesis focuses on the design factors affecting toll plazas, including traffic, toll collection methods, location and configuration of toll plazas, as well as congestion management, operation and maintenance of the facility and environmental issues. The synthesis includes discussions of existing standards and practices related to toll facility design, including plaza and roadway geometrics, lane configuration, electronic toll collection, capacity, access, communication, safety and security, signing, pavement marking, and new technology. To develop this synthesis, the Transportation Research Board analysed available information assembled from numerous sources, including a large number of state highway and transportation departments.
