Do I earn this achievement if I have to use a toll road or a car ferry to reach the hash?
If so, schould this be mentioned in the instructions for this achievement?

- IMHO, the achievement is for reaching a location which is restricted to enter, and you need to pay to get clearance. This means legal access to the location, not "getting there by car conveniently". You don't have to use the toll road for money, you can probably reach the same point on foot without paying. You don't have to use the ferry with your car, you could swim or bring your own boat. This is not money you pay to access the site, but just part of the travel cost, like a bus ticket or the gas station bill. So IMHO this is a simple "no".
- Of course there might be cases where the point is not legally accessible without using a specific vehicle, like when the hash falls on a railway line. If you get on the train for the sole purpose to ride it through the hash because stepping on active tracks is illegal (and dangerous) the train ticket is your admission ticket to the hash (the train itself being the location you need to buy yourself access to). --Ekorren (talk) 02:39, 5 May 2014 (EDT)
