Instead of posting the same senseless, uninformative and confusing pdf from their lousy website, does anyone know how much it will cost end to end with and without transponder ? If the response is to add up all the tolls, that makes no sense to add so many numbers just to arrive at that figure, and looks like it will be a very high and ridiculous number. Thanks !

Where are you getting that? OP said NC-540, not I-540.

I think that if you went end to end you would go through tolls 4, 5, 7, 9 so you would be at $2.59 with transponder or $3.95 without.

I think I calculated that right but I've only gone on the toll road twice and it's been a while. Hopefully someone else can correct me if it's wrong. I also assumed your start point was 54/540 intersection

Don't think so. Additional tolls would only go on new parts of the road I believe.

Ahh, I see what you're saying. My first inclination was "add all the numbers" but these numbers include ramps which are not applicable for an end to end drive.

Unless I'm mistaken, if you're going from beginning to end, you add tolls 4, 5, 7, & 9. Anything noted "mainline" is the toll for the road and anything noted "ramp" is the toll if you exit.

Note that the quoted figure includes the toll for 147, while the original poster asked about just 540.

End-to-end on NC 540 would indeed be $2.59 transponder or $3.95 mail, passing through gantries 4/5/7/9.

I'll be honest, I don't really know the difference...

Either way sounds like good news, no tolls for me .

NC-540 is specifically the tolled sections (the Western, Eastern, and Southern sections) whereas I-540 is the Northern section you referred to earlier that is untolled.

No tolls on I-540 until/unless they widen it. Many years away. The question is whether there will be flat-rate tolls or dynamic pricing.
