<p>Conventional freeway toll stations are usually single-layered, and cannot allocate too many toll booths in a row. This invention is intended to accommodate enough toll booths within limited space in order to increase the capacity of a toll station. The solution is a multi-layered toll station, wherein 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 booth clusters are included in each direction, and these booth clusters are connected by straight or S-shaped barriers at the opposite ends. Toll booths in each booth cluster share same entrance passage and same exit passage. The barriers are adjustable, so that the direction of a part of or a whole cluster can be reversed.</p> |
