Payment to attendant
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that payment must be made directly to an attendant, usually at a staffed payment booth. Move into the correct lane well in advance, stop at the booth and pay before proceeding when the signal, barrier or attendant allows you to do so.
Rules
- The sign indicates a payment method and shows which lane or payment point is intended for payment to an attendant.
- You must follow lane arrows, road markings and any traffic signals at the payment facility.
- At the payment booth, you must stop and make the payment as directed by the attendant.
- You must not enter the lane if it is closed by a red light, barrier or other clear obstruction.
Tips
- Reduce your speed early and look for signs above or beside the individual payment lanes.
- Choose your lane well in advance and avoid sudden lane changes immediately before the payment booth.
- Have your preferred payment method ready so that you do not cause unnecessary queues.
- Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front because it will have to stop at the booth.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign indicates an information point or a staffed service station, but it applies to payment made directly to an attendant.
- The sign does not mean that all lanes can be used; it applies to the lane or payment point associated with the sign.
- The sign must not be confused with a direction sign indicating a destination or direction of travel.
