Sorry to say, but everybody here do not get payed and there for, they do not have to answered or do anything they don't want to, so please calm down. One of the keyword here are patience.

It do not help to keep posting the same thing over and over. On the contrary. People are less likely to help.

Why don't you just place a toll booth between the exit and the road/street? or just try to make it yourself, as it looks like no one are interesting in doing this for you. Sorry to say.

    Learn to use the SCBAT Tool as well as GMAX. Then you will be all set. Once you get good at it there is no stopping what you can make. Then again I havent learned how to use it yet (only i know a little bit of the program)

    Also you need to calm down and relax. People will be here to help you when you need it. Just politey ask for help, or check out the chat room. You may find someone in there that may help you out.

    I think the only other option would be to find the off-ramps in all of the Maxis files and somehow add a tollbooth function to them...but that would take ILive Reader or something like that to mod the properties.  That would be my idea... 42.gif

    A toll booth on a highway exit is impossible - we can stop the discussion.

    A toll booth has to be made as a LOT and LOTs have limited possibilities of transit-enabling. Traffic going through a LOT has to pass the LOT straight. That means, everything what comes in has to leave on the opposite side. With that limit, you cannot create a LOT-based highway exit.

    Or, you could just be indirect about it - which is how I solved my problems when recreating the Mass Turnpike and its indirect interchanges with tollbooths.

    Check out these two examples (images not in line to save 56K users):

    Highway to highway

    This one is pretty simplified, but not outside the realm of reality. Most tolled highways tend to use trumpet interchanges as opposed to full-Y interchanges, but this gets the job done. If you really want to, you can recreate (ugly) trumpet interchanges with one way roads, but only go that way if you're trying to reproduce a specific interchange.

    If you only want a one side of the highway exit, check this out:

    One-sided highway to surface road

    Using NAM's one way road single exit ramps is the solution for the more complicated ramp systems you might see at various tolled highways. Just remember that if you have a tolled highway, there cannot be any toll free exits in the same city - or else people will avoid the tolled exits in favor of the free ones. Silly cheap sims...

    Here's an example of how you can be tricky with this. This interchange is based on a real one - the I-90(masspike)/I-91/US 5 interchange in West Springfield, MA. While it doesn't look as pretty as the real interchange, it's functionally the same. Before I-91 (highway on the left) was built, the turnpike and US 5 (surface road on the right) had a regular old trumpet interchange at exit 4. When I-91 was built, a small connector road was added to connect the existing US 5/turnpike interchange to I-91, and you get this three-way thing. It would look a lot prettier (and more like the real thing) if we had trumpet interchanges and on-slope ground highway bits.

    Don't even ask me to tackle the Weston tolls. X_X
