New toll roads could be on the horizon as the Government moves into its next quarterly plans.

It says it's achieved 39 of its 40 third-quarter goals, largely targeting law and order.

The 43 actions up next focus on infrastructure and economic growth.

They include passing the fast-track approvals bill - but also look into introducing more road tolls.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop says they're unpopular, but they're a reliable method.

"People think about other countries - toll roads are very common in the United States, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, many parts of Europe. Toll roads are standard practice and we don't use them enough here."
