<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I pay cash at Lincoln Tunnel?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, the Lincoln Tunnel has been 100% cashless since March 2020. You must use E-ZPass or pay by mail through license plate billing.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What happens if I don't have E-ZPass?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Your license plate will be photographed and you'll receive a "Tolls by Mail" bill within 5-7 days. The rate is $2.00 higher than E-ZPass rates, and you have 30 days to pay before violation fees apply.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Which tube should I use?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Traffic is dynamically managed across all three tubes. Follow overhead signs - during peak hours, the center tube may reverse direction to handle the heaviest traffic flow. E-ZPass users typically have dedicated lanes in the north tube.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Are there discounts for frequent users?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">E-ZPass provides the main discount ($2.00 per trip). There's no additional frequent user discount, but traveling during off-peak hours saves an additional $2.50 per trip.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can trucks use Lincoln Tunnel?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, but with restrictions. Maximum height is 13 feet 6 inches, and hazardous materials are prohibited. Trucks pay higher tolls based on axle count. For unrestricted truck access, use the George Washington Bridge.</p>
