| 1 At current prices. 2 From 1 September 1997 one way tolls were introduced on Forth Road Bridge northbound crossings. Southbound vehicles are no longer counted. Figures for 1997 and later years are therefore not consistent with previous years. 3 From 1 June 1991 one way tolls were introduced on Tay Bridge Southbound crossings. Northbound vehicles are no longer counted. Figures for 1991 and later years are therefore not consistent with previous years. 4 Figures for tolls levied on the Erskine Bridge are for financial years. 5 The Skye Bridge was opened in October 1995; 1995 figures are for 2.5 months only. |
