The Virginia Turnpike (VATP) is a controlled-access toll road that stretches the north–south length of eastern Virginia from the state's southernmost tip near Cape May to the New York state line at Montvale.

Tolls[edit]

The Virginia Turnpike uses an open system of tolling in which flat-rate tolls are collected at numerous toll plazas placed along the mainline and at certain interchanges. This contrasts with the New Jersey Turnpike, which uses a closed system in which a motorist receives a ticket with the toll rates at the highway's entrance, and turns in the ticket along with the toll upon exiting at toll gates.
