What I noticed, at least at the port townsend terminal, there are lines painted on the ground where you pull up to pay at the booth. If I were to take a wild guess, I'd guess they are there to aid in measurement.

Maybe pull forward a little bit extra just in case. That's what I did as soon as I saw those lines. Don't want to waste time having them measure me like they did with ipsum

But anyways I think at this point the car is known enough they won't need to measure.
