5Other toll road information signs#
5.1TOLL POINT x km AHEAD signs#
Drivers may enter and travel along a section of toll road and exit before incurring a toll. So they understand they have not passed a toll point or incurred a toll, the TOLL POINT AHEAD sign (TC1753_1) may be used to indicate the toll point is still some distance ahead (and is located some distance beyond the point at which they are exiting).
If required, this sign is installed prior to the exit point (but after the first advance direction sign) and is used to advise drivers the toll point is still some distance ahead.
The use of this sign should be restricted to key locations where this may be or is an issue. Examples are locations that are the subject of enquiries from drivers who have travelled on the toll road and are unsure if a toll has been incurred (especially if they may exit prior to a toll point).
While TC1753_1 in Figure 5.1 is generally installed one kilometre in advance of the toll point, if installed in accordance with this section, insert the appropriate distance (for example, '5km') rounded to nearest whole kilometre.

5.2LAST EXIT BEFORE TOLL POINT signs#
The information sign TC1810 in Figure 5.2 shall be installed on a motorway (or highway) prior to the last exit before a toll point. Typically, this sign should be located a short distance (100–250m) after the first advance direction sign for the exit, to allow drivers to make a choice and take the exit if desired.
