Jamaica: selecting the “Junction” route
I was advised to take the 'Junction' route from KIN to Port Antonio.
Is this the clockwise or counterclockwise, coastal route?
Are there tolls on this route and will they accept USD?
If you have experience traversing either routes please state this in your response. Arriving at 15:30 on a Friday and am open to advice.

From this Youtube video It sounds like "the Junction" is between St Andrew's and St Mary's parishes, which are both to the north and west of Kingston. So it would seem that the inland route is the suggested one.
From what I can understand on the Toll Authority website, the only toll roads in Jamaica are not where you are going.

The NWA include Stony Hill to Agualta Vale (just short of Annotto Bay), ie the A3, as "the Junction main road". Google Maps thinks the inland route is shorter, quicker and a higher average speed achievable.

I don't understand what you mean by your Comment. Mine was just to confirm the A3 is officially "the Junction", about which you seemed unsure.

It is the clockwise route. There are no tolls on this route.
Condition of parts of this route is very sub standard.
