== How to pay toll in North Dakota ==
 
−
You cannot pay tolls by cash or coins on all toll roads. To save time on people having to stop to pay cash, many toll road gantries have electronic tag readers.  Check out the [https://tollguru.com/toll-wiki/toll-tags-states-usa list of states that charge tolls and their payment methods].

You can calculate accurate trip costs - which includes both tolls and fuel expenses - to travel across the US states using '''TollGuru Trip Calculator'''. It also shows the cheapest, fastest and other optimal routes to your destination along with toll plaza(s) location enroute, payment methods and more.
