toll booth operator
Turnpike fee collector
A toll booth operator is a person who collects payment from drivers at a tollway, bridge, or tunnel.
They make change, issue receipts, and monitor traffic flow through their lane.
The job has largely disappeared as electronic toll collection systems have replaced manual booths: My uncle worked as a toll booth operator on the turnpike for thirty years.
