How will free-flow tolling reduce traffic congestion?
Free-flow tolling allows more efficient use of the existing road network, reducing the need to build new roads and motorways. As the population in south-east Queensland continues to grow, so too will the number of vehicles on the roads. Free-flow tolling provides direct benefits for all road users and the wider community by enabling non-stop travel along toll roads. In one hour, free-flow tolling can allow up to 1200 vehicles per lane to pass through tolling points compared with just 400 in manual cash systems. This is because the need to slow down, stop to pay and accelerate away is avoided.
