The Lekki Toll Road has been designed to operate 3 Toll Plazas located along the 49.4km stretch of road that falls within LCC's concession area:

• Admiralty Circle Plaza: located at Km 3 of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, in the vicinity of the Palms Shopping Mall. The choice of name is a tribute to the proximity of the Five Cowrie Creek to the Toll Plaza, and the importance of preserving our waterways.
• Conservation Plaza: located at Km 13, in the vicinity of Chevron Nigeria Limited HQ. The choice of name is a tribute to the proximity of the National Conservation Foundation to the Toll Plaza, and LCC's identification with the importance of protecting our environment and our ecosystem.
• Campus Plaza: located at Km 23, in the vicinity of the Pan African University. The choice of name is a tribute to the proximity of the University campus to the Toll Plaza, and LCC's identification with the importance of education to society.

Each Toll Plaza is designed to accommodate the volume of traffic projected to arrive at each plaza location now and in future. Advanced technology is deployed at each plaza, ensuring tolling efficiency through automatic vehicle classification, electronic toll collection, and express lanes for eTag subscribers, amongst other features.

Toll fees at each plaza vary by vehicle classification, and price incentives offered reflect the payment methods used and customer usage patterns (e.g. frequent user incentive, public transport discount, and exempt users).

All three Toll Plazas will have trained and dedicated operations, maintenance and service personnel on hand to serve our customers, while our dedicated toll-free customer service helpline will further enhance customer experience.

There are currently five (5) vehicle types identified for tolling purposes, the definitions of which are provided below. Classifications may change in future, in which case details will be advertised a reasonable amount of time before effecting changes:

• CLASS M - Motor vehicle with 2 wheels (Motorcycles)
• CLASS I - Cars and Tricycles. These are light motor vehicles
• CLASS II & IIA - Sports utility vehicles (SUV), minibuses and pick-ups. (2 Axles, 4 Wheels and Height through front hub greater than 1.05m, but less than 2.30m)
• CLASS III - Light trucks and 2 axle buses, Motor Vehicle with 2 axles of which one is a heavy axle or a motor vehicle with two axles where the height of the vehicle measured through the hub of the front axle is greater than 2.30m. Heavy axle means any single axle with more than 2 wheels
• CLASS IV & IVA - Heavy trucks and buses with 2 or more heavy axles, and whose height measured through the front hub is greater than 2.3m

NOTE: A vehicle that is used to tow another vehicle will pay for both vehicle classifications to gain access at the plaza

LCC offers road users a range of affordable and convenient methods of toll payment encompassing electronic and manual means.

Manual payment involves the use of cash at the toll plazas; while electronic payment involves the use of a tag device known as "eTag", or the "SwiftPass" contactless card.

The SwiftPass and eTag are pre-loaded with funds. After every successful passage through one of the toll plazas, the balance of funds credited to the particular device used is debited with the corresponding toll charged at the time of passage. It is therefore important to ensure that your electronic toll payment device is loaded with sufficient funds for the passage you wish to make otherwise you will not be able to use the device at the time, and may instead have to pay with cash. Where customers register for an LCC Customer Account, thereby subscribing for an enhanced level of service, LCC will notify account holders via SMS or email when the balance on their accounts is low, to enable them top-up their accounts with funds in good time before their next trip.

Customers traveling on the eTag dedicated express lanes are advised to note that where the balance on their account is insufficient to allow passage through the dedicated eTag express lane, they will be automatically exited to a mixed-use lane that allows other payment. methods, including cash.

For eTag subscribers, the topmost advantages are that users have exclusive access to the dedicated eTag express lanes, whilst also being able to use any other lanes at the toll plazas. eTag subscribers do not have to stop at all at the toll plaza as they drive through. This advantage is developed solely for the eTag users.

eTag
eTag is an electronic device that is capable of receiving signals from electronic sensors installed at the Toll Plazas. eTags are sensitive to handle; hence, care must be taken when installing the eTag on the inner side of the front windscreen of vehicles. It must be correctly attached to the windscreen. The eTags could be damaged or deactivated if not properly handled.
Key Advantages of the eTag:

• Vehicles on the eTag account receive the highest price incentives; i.e., the lowest tariffs
• It provides the fastest and most convenient access through the Toll Plazas as you do not have to stop as you drive through
• The eTag is secured to your vehicle. If it is removed, it will be deactivated hence it discourages theft
• Users will be notified when the minimum value threshold on the account has been reached, so that they can top up their accounts
• The eTag will not expire
