Public works authority Landsverk operates the national road network including all land based tunnels. The four sub sea tunnels have each their own state owned company brought together under the daily management of Tunnil, which administers the tolls. These are paid by drivers at select petrol stations, via number plate recognition. Reduced fares are available for vehicles with a subscription (in Faroese: hald). Tórshavn Municipality owns the Sandá Bridge. A 2022 poll suggested continued support for toll charges.
