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

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.
