Damn Tolls everywhere!

Toll along the Yokohama-Yokosuka Road Posted by Hello


Japan has lots and lots of tolls along the freeway. Saving time costs money! A small ramp going from Route 16 to the Yoko-Yoko road is about $2.50 and the stretch of road is about a mile long. But you would never want to veer off the toll roads because the time savings are tremendous. Because if you take the long route, there are traffic signals every 50-100 meters. It sucks huge.

The green light means that, that lane is open. Sometimes you take a ticket. Once the ticket is obtained, you keep driving until you take your exit. From there, you give the man your ticket and he will punch up your total. After that you pay the man. Losing your ticket is not an option.
