- Road lanes: Double lane roads with central lane and single lane roads with one lane per direction

Most of the Jamaica toll facilities have both electronic lanes and cash/card lanes. They accept the following three payment methods:
1. Toll tag
2. Cash
3. Credit / Debit card
Using a toll tag is preferred to pay tolls because they offer discounts and can also be used at several parking spots. The toll tags valid across Jamaica are:
1. T-Tag [3]
2. EPASS [4]
However, keeping cash handy is always recommended as some of these electronic plazas may not be functioning properly.
