Tokyo Expressway(D8) is short for a toll-free road of the Tokyo Kōsoku Dōro K.K., separate from the Metropolitan Expressway. Getting on a Tokyo Expressway(D8) from the Metropolitan Expressway requires first getting off the Metropolitan Expressway, but every terminus of the Tokyo Expressway(D8) is connected to the Metropolitan Expressway. Thus, no base toll is collected when reconnecting to the Metropolitan Expressway from a Tokyo Expressway(D8) without getting off onto a local road.
