Toll Roads

Toll Roads:
Highway 18 from Mérida becomes the 180 toll road, also called a cuota or carretera de cobro, going east to Cancún. This four-lane speedway is by far the fastest route to Cancún. Using it, you can avoid 146 topes and 43 villages. Along the way, you will encounter toll booths or casetas de cobro. Expect to pay $381 pesos between Mérida and Cancún. Have pesos in hand because the exchange rates at the toll booths are less than generous.
Exact tolls are:
Mérida to Chichén Itzá - $81 Pesos.
Mérida to Valladolid - $140 Pesos.
Chichén Itzá to Valladolid - $59 Pesos.
Valladolid to Cancún - $241 Pesos.
Mérida to Cancún - $381 Pesos.

GOING TO CHICHEN ITZA FROM CANCUN
IF WE GO TO CHICHEN ITZA FROM CANCUN BY CAR IS THE TOLL 355 ROUND TRIP OR ONE WAY ONLY. WE PLANNING TO GO . WE ARE 4 PEOPLE.
re. GOING TO CHICHEN ITZA FROM CANCUN
The tolls shown are one way for the whole car, regardless of number of passengers. However, you won't pay the whole 355 pesos, as that is from Cancun all the way to Merida. You will pay the two sections Cancun to Valladolid (225 pesos) and Valladolid to Chichen Itza (55 pesos).

We will be driving from Cancun to Telchac Puerto in March (2012), and plan on driving around the Yucatan during our stay on various day trips. Do you have to have the exact peso amount at the toll booths, or will they give you change?
Have the toll amounts changed since this information was originally posted?
Are there safe alternatives to the toll roads?
re. toll roads
Here is our article about driving in Yucatan: http://yucatantoday.com/en/topics/driving-tips
You do not need exact change, the toll booths make change. I have just updated the toll amounts in the posting above. You can take the free roads instead, they are perfectly safe, but take much longer because of all the villages and speed bumps. At night it can be a bit tricky because of pedestrians on the road, so don't drive too fast...not to mention hitting a speed bump you cannot see!!!
