Toll Bridges

[Omar15]

Just wondering - whats the deal with motorbikes and toll bridges?

Today i went over the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol twice and each way just tailgated a car under the barriers because I didn't fancy having to dig around in my pockets for change, but I'm now slightly worried I've been caught on camera and will be fined?

Or worse, have points on my license? But that does seem a little ridiculous.

Over my bridge its free for bikes anyway

I go over one just out side of Hay-on-Wye quite often. They come out and say somthing to me but I can never hear what it is because of the engine. sometimes I just ride off and at other times I chuck a quid on the floor and then ride off.
Stupid idea.

The Dartford Crossing (M25) usually wave bikes through.

The tight gits on the M6 toll charge for bikes.

I was surprised to find it free for all to get out of Wales on the Severn Crossing. But you pay going the other way into Wales.

Not on a bike you don't.

Mind you I suppose if you give them money they could always buy a kit-kat.

The two Mersey tunnels are toll roads but free to bikers.

North Wales has loads of toll roads, they collect the money via yellow boxes on poles.

Going over either Seven Bridge on a bike is free.
Its fun to accelerate away as fast as you can from the toll booth when they let you through

Heh I first read this as troll bridges, but in my experience many bridges are free for bikes but you must stop at the toll booth.

It was free on the Torpoint bridge.

Tamar Bridge (Torpoint is the ferry Itchy, that's 20p ) is free. But you are supposed to stop at the barrier then they'll open it. Usually if you are following a car they'll hold it open and wave you through though, and even if you aren't if they see you coming they usually open it so you don't have to stop.

Followed a car up to it once but they guy didn't wave me through so I slowed up, as being bonked on the noggin by a barrier didn't appeal- miserable git then shouts "get a fucking move on" to me from his booth

Nope, still 20p there free back on the Ferry. I suggest you stop at the toll booth on that one though.

Haven't they already earnt the cost of building the bridge like 10 times over or something?

Didn't they open it with the intentions of only charging to cross it untill they had covered the cost?

Or this could all be whispered rumours.

It's still a bloke in waterproofs on the Torpoint Ferry, don't worry

He still goes around hassling you for money too. Some things will never change I suspect...

The severn toll's are great, especially if there's a few of you get to different barriers at the same time. The race to get out first before it goes to 3 lanes is tops .
