Or you can wait until you receive the violation notice at home and send in the payment – note that you only have 30 days to pay before penalties are added. I'm assuming that the process is the same for Canadian plates as for US plates. You pay south bound only.
Can someone tell me what happens to us tourists with out of states / country licence plates ?
Since we use the bay area bridges several times a year we decided to get the FasTrak device, set up an account and register our vehicles.
Someone noticed that unhooking a toad and driving both would cost less. However I'm not aware of any good/safe areas near the bridge to unhook or hook. Perhaps use a exit before the bridge and then hook back up in Golden Gate Park.
