Tollroads and Tolling: Frequently Asked Questions Frequently asked questions What is free-flow tolling? Free-flow tolling is an electronic tolling system that eases congestion in response to south east Queensland’s rapidly growing population. Free-flow tolling has replaced cash toll booths and has provided a no stopping tolling system aimed at easing congestion and improving travel times and safety for motorists. Tolls are automatically calculated as motorists pass under a tolling point. What do I need to do to travel on a toll road? To use any toll road, you will need to set up an account or buy a toll pass from a toll payment provider. Different products are available from each of the toll payment providers as listed below (note that a range of fees may apply to the products – feel free to discuss these with the provider). Customer Account options If you are a regular toll road user (more than twice a month), setting up an account is the way to go. Toll payment providers have three types of accounts including a tag account, a video account and a business account. All these account products are interoperable allowing the user to travel on any toll road in Australia. Tag account – Once this account is set up, a tag is issued and can be fitted to the windscreen of your vehicle. When the vehicle passes under the tolling point, the tag is detected and the toll amount is automatically deducted from your tag account. Video account – If you prefer not to use a tag, you can opt for a video account. When your vehicle passes under the tolling point, an image is taken of your registration number plate and the toll amount plus a video matching fee is automatically deducted from your toll video account. Business account – This account is for business customers only. You can link all your business vehicles to one account for ease of making toll payments. Contact toll payment providers regarding their conditions for business accounts. Toll pass options If you don’t use the toll roads regularly, you can buy a road pass or a trip or toll pass (video pass). • Road pass – This is a temporary short term pass (available for between 1 to 30 consecutive days) which allows you to travel on all toll roads in Queensland. Payment is by credit card only and the tolling process is similar to a video account i.e. an image is taken of your registration number plate and the toll amount plus a video matching fee is charged to your credit card. • Trip or toll pass – If you only want to pay for a one off trip or multiple trips, you need to either pay before you travel or within three days after you first travel on a toll road. Payment is to be made to the relevant toll payment provider for the toll road used. The details of which toll payment provider to contact will be prominently displayed on roadside signage. How much are the tolls? The cost of tolls on the toll roads varies for different types of vehicles. Please click on the link for the relevant toll payment provider in the table below for prices.

Toll roads in Queensland are clearly identified on destination signs as well as a series of clear signs indicating that a tolling point is ahead. Tolling points are located along the motorway or at the entry to tunnels or bridges. Road users will travel through a tolling point which houses the tag readers and video tolling technology. There is no need to slow down from normal motorway speed to pass under the tolling point. The contact details of the relevant toll payment provider are also signposted before and after the tolling point. If I don’t use the toll roads often, do I still need an electronic tag? You don’t need an electronic tag if you don’t use the toll roads often. There is a range of toll pass options for infrequent users available from toll payment providers. If you know you will be travelling on the toll road, you can buy a toll pass before leaving home or after using a toll road (within three days) from the relevant toll payment provider. What should I do if I use a toll road without having an electronic tag or buying a pass? If you use a toll road you have up to three days after you first use the toll road to arrange payment. Motorists may be sent a notice for non-payment of the toll and relevant fees for non-payment where arrangements have not been made to pay the toll within three days after travelling on the toll road. Is there a fine for using a toll road without having an electronic tag or pass, and if so, how much is it? You may incur additional fees and charges for using a toll road if you have not arranged payment within three days (without a tag or a pass from the relevant toll payment provider). If you do not respond to a toll notice and do not pay the toll and any administration fee, you may be fined in excess of $140. Can I use my tag on any toll road? Yes, your tag is interoperable on any toll road in Australia. As you drive past toll points, your tag will beep and the toll will be charged to your account. Can motorcyclists use an electronic tag or pass? A video/plate account is for motorcyclists (due to the difficulty in placing the tag on motorcycles). Motorcyclists don’t pay the video matching fee when travelling on Queensland toll roads and only pay the cost of the toll. If I sell or trade in my vehicle, should I advise my electronic tag provider? It’s vital that your number plate and other details are correct even if you have a tag. When selling or trading your vehicle, you need to let the relevant toll payment provider know your new details. This ensures that you will be tolled correctly and will not receive any extra penalties. Similarly, if you change your address, you need to let the relevant toll payment provider know your new address. What other information should I be aware of? If you use your credit card to make automatic top-up payments, take note of your expiry date and be sure to keep your toll amount payment details up to date. .

  • RACQ Ipswich Motorway Policy Analysis
    Policy Analysis 9/05 Economic & Public Policy Ipswich Motorway Introduction The Ipswich Motorway is a vital link between Brisbane and Ipswich. It connects Ipswich and Granard Roads at Rocklea to the Warrego and Cunningham Highways and Brisbane Road at Dinmore. For many years, it formed part of the National Highway System (NHS), which was a Commonwealth Government funding responsibility. Since the release of the Commonwealth’s AusLink land transport policy in June 2004, the Ipswich Motorway has been part of a broader National Network. The AusLink policy decreed that the states must share costs of the National Network, particularly in urban areas. The Ipswich Motorway is one of Queensland’s most congested roads, with stop-start conditions during morning and afternoon peak periods. It also has one of the highest vehicle accident rates in Queensland. Yet, the upgrading of this hopelessly inadequate and dangerous road has been subjected to extraordinary delays because of political bickering and dithering. This document summarises the history of recent proposals to upgrade the Ipswich Motorway, analyses Commonwealth and State Government policies regarding the road, and outlines RACQ’s position. Background The Ipswich Motorway upgrade project has been dogged by delays, conflict between governments, and political manoeuvring. In the meantime, road trauma and congestion continue to worsen on this very sub-standard stretch of the National Network. The following brief chronology highlights key events in this sad, sorry saga. 1997 The Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland, which was released in 1997, proposed commencement in 1997-98 of a major investigation in respect of an Ipswich Motorway upgrade.

  • Mt Lindesay/Beaudesert Strategic Transport Network Investigation Draft Report for Consultation, 2009 138
    13.0 NETWORK STAGING The purpose of the network staging modelling is to establish priorities for the Department of Transport and Main Roads in terms of future corridor presentation. The 2036 time frame was selected as it is 10 years after the current timeframe of committed infrastructure projects (i.e. projects in South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program) to provide an indication of the next round of priority projects in the region. 13.1 2036 Land Use The 2036 population for the South East Queensland region was based on a linear extrapolation between 2026 and 2056. This resulted in an additional 470,000 people across the region at 2036, and a total of 4.4 million. Locality population growth in areas, besides the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, were also distributed based on this linear extrapolation. In the Study Focus Area and Ipswich City area, the linear extrapolation was used as an overall total however locality population growths have been adjusted. Additional population, based on linear extrapolation, at 2036 for the former Beaudesert Shire is 79,600 and for Ipswich City 103,800 people. The South East Queensland Strategic Transport Model and 2005 Regional Plan predicts a 2026 population for the former Beaudesert Shire of approximately 116,600 people. More recent investigations by the former Beaudesert Shire Council indicate this may be closer to 140,000 people at 2026. As a result the 2036 demographics were adjusted for this additional 24,000 persons to 2026 plus the amount added from the linear extrapolation process. A total of an additional 103,600 people was therefore utilised for the 2036 population growth Staging Scenario.
