Toll roads are controlled-access highways that are part of the national road network. Unlike ordinary roads that are free to use, toll road users are required to pay a toll fee.
Toll roads play a strategic role in facilitating the movement of goods and services between regions, thus reducing logistics costs.
According to data from the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), as of September 2022, Indonesia had 68 operational toll road sections with a total length of 2,545 kilometers (km).
The longest toll road sections are located on Java Island, comprising the Trans-Java Toll Road, the Jabodetabek Toll Road, and other Non-Trans-Java Toll Roads. Combined, their length reaches 1,667.84 km, equivalent to 65% of the total length of national toll roads.
The shortest toll road sections are located in Bali, while Papua, Maluku, and Nusa Tenggara did not have any toll roads as of September 2022.
Here is a breakdown of the length of operational toll roads in Indonesia as of September 2022, ordered from longest to shortest:
* Trans-Java: 1,055.4 km
* Trans-Sumatra: 707.58 km
* Jabodetabek: 327.18 km
* Non-Trans-Java: 285.26 km

In addition to the above, as of September 2022, Indonesia also had 27 toll road sections under construction, with a total length of 1,813 km.
The most extensive unfinished toll road projects are located on the Trans-Sumatra section, with a length of 925.55 km.
Further additions to the Non-Trans-Java toll road network are targeted to reach 429.17 km, Jabodetabek 271.95 km, and Trans-Java 185.65 km.
The development of toll roads in Indonesia has significantly increased during the presidency of Joko Widodo.
From the beginning of Jokowi's leadership in 2014 to February 2022, 36 new toll road sections became operational, with a total length of 1,569.17 km.
