Does Jamaica have Toll Roads?

What is a T-Tag, and how does it work?
A T-Tag is an electronic toll collection device used on Jamaican toll roads. It is affixed to the windshield of a vehicle and communicates with toll collection equipment at toll plazas. When a vehicle equipped with a T-Tag passes through a toll plaza, the toll is automatically deducted from the user's prepaid account linked to the T-Tag, allowing for seamless passage without the need to stop and pay in cash.

Jamaica toll road price
Toll rates in Jamaica depend on the toll facility, vehicle type and payment method. It also depends on:
- Road system: Parallel highways, both with double lane, construction site or central barrier
- Road lanes: Double lane roads with central lane and single lane roads with one lane per direction
This implies that despite having multiple toll plazas on the same highway, it may not mean an increase in overall tolls - rather fractioning of the total toll for the length of the road.
| Toll Road | Toll Price for Tags | Toll Price for Cash |
|---|---|---|
| Highway 2000 East-West | 320.00 JMD | 345.00 JMD |
| Highway 2000 | 237.00 JMD | 250.00 JMD |
