Sydney's toll road network has been described as one of the most expensive in the world. As another section of WestConnex opens, experts say it's time for consistent pricing.
abc.net.au/news/calls-to-standardise-road-tolls-in-sydney-westconnex-tunnel-open/101878050The opening of another section of the WestConnex toll road has prompted experts and a key motoring organisation to call for Sydney's "patchwork" of toll charges to be standardised.
The M4-M8 link will cost $5.65 for cars to use and $16.95 for heavy vehicles such as trucks. A toll cap on the entire WestConnex network means any user will pay no more than $11.11 for cars and $33.32 for heavy vehicles. University of Sydney transport expert Martin Locke said inconsistent toll charges need to be brought into line.
"It'd be more appropriate just to have the same tolling structure being applied across the portfolio."
