Where to place my toll tag for best results?

If you ever have to move it for some reason, just make sure to reroute your account info. I almost got a violation for that once!

Exactly! Updating your info can save you from a headache later on.

It’s funny, my friend always put hers in the glove compartment. She wondered why her car was getting rejected at every toll!

That’s hilarious! But it is a major error many people make. Gotta have it in sight!

I think sometimes we forget how important proper placement is. It can greatly affect our daily commutes!

Totally agree! Just having it properly placed can smooth out the drive. It’s the little things!

The best place to put your toll tag is usually on the windshield, about an inch or two from the top. But don’t forget, placements may vary by state! Check your local regulations.

I’ve found that placing it too low can cause delays at the toll booth. It’s such a hassle when that happens!

Good point, tony82! Some places require the toll tag to be on the driver’s side. Always best to check the specific rules for where you’re traveling.

Exactly! In some regions, the placement varies based on the type of toll system in place. For example, some states use overhead readers instead of split-window systems.

Does anyone else find the confusion over placements amusing? It’s like a treasure hunt each time you cross state lines!

I’ve experienced issues with placement as well, and I have tried different states’ suggestions. At least it makes the drive interesting, right? But it shouldn’t be so complicated!

You’re definitely not alone, smithjamie. I once got stuck at a toll for 15 minutes just because my tag wasn’t in the right spot! :man_facepalming:

Has anyone checked if specific toll roads have placement guidelines directly on their websites? It could save a lot of guesswork.

That’s a smart idea, csullivan! Many states update their regulations online, it’s worth looking into before your trip!

Honestly, trying to remember all the placements feels akin to studying for a test. Does anyone have a cheat sheet? :sweat_smile:

Each state uniquely defines these requirements, and some don’t even allow for exceptions! It really feels like a game sometimes.

It really does seem overly complicated for such a small piece of technology! Might be worth advocating for a simplified standard.
