9. Toll road
A toll road is a road, motorway, bridge, tunnel or other route for which users must pay a charge. The toll may apply to all vehicles or only to particular vehicle categories, and the amount can depend on factors such as distance travelled, vehicle type, weight or emissions.
Tolls may be collected at toll booths, electronically or through a vignette or distance-based charging system. Drivers should check the applicable payment rules before using a toll road, especially when travelling in another country.

Which road-charging system should I check in Canada?
Canadian tolls depend on the province and facility. Ontario removed tolls from the provincially owned Highway 407 East in 2025; the privately operated 407 ETR is a different section and remains a separate toll facility.
What should I check before using a charged road in Canada?
Check the precise route and operator, not just the highway number. A statement that 407 East is free must not be applied to 407 ETR or to toll bridges and roads in other Canadian provinces.
Does the absence of a toll booth prove that a road is free in Canada?
The absence of a payment booth is not proof that a charged road is free. A vignette, electronic account, vehicle-registration record or another payment procedure may be used where the actual scheme provides for it. Follow the responsible authority or operator’s instructions for that road.
