highway tolls

Expressway usage charges

Highway tolls are fees charged to drivers for using certain roads, bridges, or tunnels.

The tolls fund construction and maintenance of the infrastructure.

Payment may be collected at toll booths or electronically through transponders: We blew through the highway tolls without stopping thanks to E-ZPass.

Toll roads are sometimes called turnpikes.
