Jordan’s First Toll Road Is Coming Next Month: A New Alternative Roads System Is About to Change How Jordanians Travel
Big news for Jordan’s drivers! Jordan is rolling out its very first toll road next month, and it’s about to shake up the way everyone gets around. With a shiny new “Alternative Roads” system, your daily commute might just get a whole lot smoother—and maybe even a little more fun.
Toll booths arrived, cards ready
Drivers spotted the new multi-lane toll plazas popping up, complete with signs for ‘Cartes / Cards’ and friendly operators in orange uniforms. Whether you’re cruising in a silver sedan or rolling up in a truck, you’ll soon be able to pay your way with cash, credit card, or—coming soon—a QR-based prepaid system. Just don’t forget your receipt, because missing a payment means a 20 JD fine!
Solar-powered and split highways
The new road isn’t just about collecting tolls. It’s all about a smoother, safer drive. Expect solar-powered streetlights lighting up your night rides, and separate highways designed for both citizens and truck drivers. That means less traffic drama and more efficient trips for everyone.
A smarter way to travel
With construction vehicles still buzzing around and a complex web of ramps and overpasses, this project is set to transform how Jordanians travel. Whether you’re a daily commuter or a long-haul trucker, the new system promises a safer, smarter, and more efficient journey. Would you take the toll road or stick to the free route?
