GENERAL SunPass-Only toll lanes on most toll roads in Florida allow a vehicle to proceed through the Tollbooth at speeds of up to 80mph (130km/h). This is a safety guideline, not a technological limitation, and violation may be subject to a speeding ticket and associated fine. Some mainline toll barriers are being constructed with wider SunPass-Only lanes that can handle speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h), with a few sites that allow you to drive through at 70 mph (112.6 km/h) by forking the SunPass lanes into another section, that does not come close to regular toll booths. E-Pass-Only lanes in the OOCEA system have a speed limit of 35 mph (60 km/h), though the mainline toll barriers will all have dedicated lanes capable of full-speed automatic toll collection at up to 65 mph (105 km/h) by 2009 . Most toll booths in the Orlando area have already upgraded to this Open Road Tolling technology. SunPass customers must pay for the transponder ($25 US plus sales tax) and also establish a minimum opening account of $25 US to fund their tolls. Unused toll fees are only refunded if the user closes the account or takes advantage of a Money-back Guarantee . The SunPass electronic toll-collection system as well as the other related ETC systems in Florida are currently not compatible with E-ZPass or other ETC systems outside of Florida. Non-Florida ETC transponders (including E-ZPass) will not work in Florida tollbooths. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
