How Tolls Are Charged on Drive288 Express Toll Lanes
Drivers on Drive288 Express Toll Lanes will incur toll charges for each mainline and direct connector toll segment being used. This means that if you travel through multiple toll segments, you will be charged for each one.
For example, drivers traveling between Pearland and Downtown Houston will pass through three mainline toll segments: Toll Segment 3 (Almeda Genoa), Toll Segment 2 (Holly Hall), and Toll Segment 1 (Brays Bayou). They will therefore incur three separate toll charges, one for each toll segment.
Similarly, drivers traveling from Pearland to IH 610 will pass through Toll Segment 3 (Almeda Genoa) and the connector ramp from SH 288 Northbound to IH 610 Eastbound or Westbound (Toll Segment 9). They will therefore incur two separate toll charges, one for each toll segment used.
Here are some of the factors that determine how much you will be charged:
- The number of toll segments you pass through
- The time of day you travel
- Numbers of Axles of vehicle
