Georgia’s Express Lanes are dynamically priced, meaning as demand for use of the lanes increases, the toll amount rises to ensure that you experience more reliable trip times. The minimum toll rate for all Georgia Express Lanes is $0.10 per mile. You can expect toll rates above the $0.10 per mile minimum to vary based on travel conditions at each express lane facility rather than a predetermined max rate.

You can see the posted toll amount before you enter, allowing you to decide whether you want to use the lanes. Tolls are collected electronically with no toll booths requiring you to slow down or stop. Toll rates are displayed at each lane entry point on changeable message signs. The top rate displayed on the sign is the fee from the upcoming entry point to the next exit, while the bottom rate is the fee from that entry point to the last Express Lane exit. When you exit between entry points, the toll rate will be between the two displayed rates. Once you enter, your toll rate does not change.

When a direction of the Express Lanes is closed, a series of gates at each entry and exit point deter you from getting on the lanes in the wrong direction. In addition, lane signage will read “closed.”

A series of warning gates are placed along every entry to the Express Lanes to alert you prior to the point of entry that the access is closed. The first gate that you see will have a red banner that says “do not enter.”

A final warning gate is heavily weighted  to deter motorists from entering in the wrong direction.

If an accident occurs, emergency access gates located throughout the lanes allow responders to quickly enter the lanes to assist. Emergency access gates vs. gates: These gates are designed to allow emergency vehicles to pull into the lanes.
