Another way of increasing the capacity of toll facilities is by providing more toll booths within one lane of traffic direction as shown in the picture. With the limited space available, the number of vehicles being processed at any one time will be higher. However, there seems to be an increased in vehicle conflicts (which can lead to accident) while exiting the multiple toll booths.

Penang bridge with the recently open additional traffic lane on both sides of the bridge. Just wondering why there is no provision for motorcycle lane on the bridge.
