Editing Humber Bridge (section)

==Toll update project==
In July 2013, work began on introducing a new electronic tolling system.<ref name="Toll Booth Update">{{cite web|url=http://humberbridgetollproject.co.uk/ |title=Humber Bridge Toll project website|access-date=4 November 2014 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20141104234506/http://humberbridgetollproject.co.uk/the-new-toll-system | archive-date = 4 November 2014}}</ref> The existing Humber Bridge toll system was largely the same as it was when the bridge opened in 1981. The computer system was over 15 years old, absorbed an increasing amount of maintenance, and needed to be replaced.<ref name="Toll Booth Update" /> The project would decrease waiting times and was welcomed by business and transport leaders.<ref name="Toll Booth Update"/>

In the first phase, the toll booths and the toll plaza canopy were replaced, and in the second phase, writing, testing and setting up the new toll system was completed. From 2015 bridge users could set up an account with the bridge and pay into it.<ref>{{cite news | title = More than 100 near misses as drivers try to reverse out of wrong lane | newspaper = [[The Yorkshire Post]] | date = 25 October 2017 | url = https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/more-than-100-near-misses-as-drivers-try-to-reverse-out-of-wrong-lane-1-8823095 | access-date = 22 June 2018 | quote = The open road system, which was introduced in 2015, allows people to pay tickets electronically via the HumberTag website.}}</ref> Account holders receive a device called the HumberTAG, a small electronic tag that enables the system to recognise the bridge user; the toll is automatically deducted from the user's account. Two central lanes through the plaza are free-flowing; they do not have booths and account holders are able to cross the bridge without stopping.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.humberbridge.co.uk/humbertag/about.php | title = HumberTAG | publisher = The Humber Bridge Board | access-date = 22 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180622192952/https://www.humberbridge.co.uk/humbertag/about.php | archive-date = 22 June 2018 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
