Vehicles using the JNSH are charged according to vehicle classification as determined by our measurement system. Every time you enter a toll lane, sensors determine the height and length of your vehicle. There is also a measurement indicator at the Toll Booth.
The classification of your vehicle can vary if the height of your vehicle is altered by a change in load being carried; if you modify your vehicle (eg. wheels, suspension, carrier rack) or if you are carrying an external load.
It is extremely unlikely that your vehicle will be incorrectly classified, but if you believe this to be the case, please contact our Toll & Safety Supervisor at 1 888 429-JNSH (1 888-429-5674).
Payment can be made at either a Toll Booth with JM$ (cash); US$ (cash) or using a Frequent Requisition Voucher. The JNSH do not accept Jamaican coins below the denomination of $1.00 or the United States coins. Credit and debit cards may be accepted at the toll collectors' discretion (Angels, Caymanas, and Mammee Bay toll plazas only).
It's an offence under the Toll Road Act to use a toll road without paying. Please call the toll free number 1-888-429-5674. The Control Centre will advise you on the JNSHC’s procedures on this matter.
Unfortunately drivers do enter the toll road in error. You will be allowed to pay and go through the toll in order to access the turn-around. Upon turning around, you will again face the toll plaza, therefore you will be required to pay another toll to exit the toll road.
All signage on the approach to the JNSH was designed and placed in accordance with, and approved by, the National Road Operating and Construction Company (NROCC) and the Ministry of Transport and Works to meet the criteria of their signage policy.
No. In the future, the JNSH will be implementing an Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system which would ensure easy of travel (similar to Tag).
