Highlighted colour shows which criteria is being applied in which state when determining vehicle class and thus tolls being charged.
In Qld, the distinction between vehicles is initially based on private V’s commercial classification and then by weight.
While Qld has “spatial dimensions” mentioned, there are no specific numbers unlike the situation in NSW where vehicle dimensions are clearly stated.
