- My Toll Farm: Proper vehicle placement is essential for maximizing toll revenue.
- E-Tag removal: Use fishing line to slice through adhesive to prevent windshield damage.
- Placement strategy: Position cars to minimize traffic jams and maximize collection speed.
- Safety first: Avoid using sharp tools like screwdrivers that can scratch glass.
- Adhesive types: Factory-installed tags use stronger glue than aftermarket 3M tape.
Understanding Vehicle Placement
In My Toll Farm, the way you position your vehicles directly impacts your efficiency. Unlike static decorations, cars have hitboxes and interaction zones that must align with toll booths. Placing a car too far from the sensor results in missed tolls, while placing it too close can cause collision glitches where vehicles stack on top of each other.

Never overlap vehicle hitboxes. In My Toll Farm, overlapping cars can trigger physics glitches that launch vehicles off the map, forcing you to repurchase them from the shop.
How to Remove E-Tags Properly
When upgrading your vehicle fleet or reorganizing your farm layout, you may need to remove toll transponders. Many players make the mistake of using brute force, which can damage the asset. The most efficient method, often overlooked, involves using simple household items.
Tools Required:
| Tool | Effectiveness | Risk Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fishing Line | ★★★★★ (High) | Low (Safe) | Cuts adhesive cleanly; best for factory glue. |
| Flathead Screwdriver | ★★☆☆☆ (Low) | High (Dangerous) | High risk of scratching the windshield surface. |
| Heat Gun | ★★★☆☆ (Med) | Medium | Softens glue but can damage interior electronics if overused. |
| Credit Card | ★☆☆☆☆ (Low) | Low | Too weak for heavy-duty industrial adhesives. |
Prepare Your Tool
Get a length of fishing line (monofilament) long enough to grip with both hands. It is strong enough to slice through the adhesive tape but flexible enough to not scratch the glass.
Find an Edge
Locate a corner of the toll tag holder where the adhesive meets the windshield. Do not force the tag; simply identify the entry point for the line.
Slice the Adhesive
Wrap the line around your fingers and saw back and forth through the adhesive layer. Work your way from one side to the other until the holder separates completely.
Clean the Surface
Once removed, use an adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol to clean the remaining residue from the windshield before placing a new car or tag.
Aftermarket tags usually use 3M tape, which comes off easier than the industrial glue used in factory installations. If you are struggling, apply a little heat with a hairdryer first.
Optimizing Car Layouts for Efficiency
Strategic placement goes beyond just aesthetics. In My Toll Farm, you want to create a flow where cars enter, pay the toll, and exit without U-turns or stalling.
Layout Comparison:
| Layout Type | Revenue/Hour | Space Efficiency | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Line | Low | High | Easy |
| Dual Lane | High | Medium | Medium |
| Circular Loop | Medium | Low | Hard |
| Toll Booth Plaza | Very High | High | Hard |
The Single Line
- Best for: Early game
- Cars move in a straight path
- Easy to manage
- Low risk of jams
The Dual Lane
- Best for: Mid-game expansion
- Requires 2 toll collectors
- Doubles throughput
- Needs wider roads
The Plaza
- Best for: End-game
- Multiple booths
- Complex routing
- Max income potential
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Keeping your cars and toll equipment in good condition ensures steady income flow. Here are common issues players face regarding vehicle placement and tag management.
Common Issues & Fixes:
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Car won't move | Obstacle in path | Check for rocks or decorations blocking the route. |
| Tent not working | Tag battery dead | Replace the transponder battery at the mechanic shop. |
| Glue residue left | Old adhesive removal | Use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to clean. |
| Car clipping | Hitbox overlap | Move the vehicle slightly away from the toll booth arm. |
Regularly check your placed cars for wear and tear. In My Toll Farm, vehicles that pass through tolls too frequently may require servicing to maintain top speed.
Farm Setup Checklist
Use this checklist to ensure your farm is optimized for vehicle traffic and toll collection.
Essential Setup Tasks:
- Clear all debris from planned roadways
- Place toll booths at least 2 units apart
- Test drive a car through the entire loop
- Remove old E-Tags using the fishing line method
- Verify all transponders are active and funded
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I move a car once it is placed in My Toll Farm?
Yes, you can move vehicles at any time. However, moving a car that has an active toll pass requires you to first remove the E-tag holder to avoid damaging the connection or leaving adhesive residue on the windshield.
Q: What is the best way to remove a toll pass without scratching the glass?
The best method is to use a length of fishing line. Hold it with both hands and slice it back and forth behind the toll holder. This cuts the adhesive cleanly without risking the scratches caused by metal tools like screwdrivers or blades.
Q: Why do my cars stop at the toll booth?
Cars stop to pay the toll automatically. If they are stopping for too long, check if the transponder battery is charged or if there is a traffic jam caused by poor road layout further down the line.
Q: Do I need to remove the adhesive after taking off an E-Tag?
Yes, leaving old adhesive on the windshield can interfere with the placement of new equipment or obscure your vision. Use adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol to clean the surface after removing the holder.
