Other useful point regarding 'M6 toll etiquette'The signage is very clear so if you've already decided you want to take the M6 Toll (which I'd recommend) then just follow the road signs. I just find it annoying that the voice guidance is non-existant at these junctions. I mean I know which way I'm planning to go, but the whole point of the satnav is that it can reroute if there are issues. So it would be helpful if it would actually tell me which way it wants to send me. (That said, in reality, I really can't remember ever having any major holdups on the M6 Toll.)
Notes on toll payment if you haven't used it recently (or ever):
1. All the toll booths are unstaffed (although there is a call button for assistance). Been that way for as long as I can remember.
2. As of a few years ago they no longer take cash. It's all card only these days.
3. Historically the card readers at the toll booths didn't accept Apple Pay or Google Pay, but I understand that has now been resolved as part of the upgrades in the last couple of months.
Everything - junctions and payment - is clearly marked, so I don't anticipate you'll have any problems.
Don't forget to floor it once the barrier goes up
