toll booths

Turnpike payment stations

Toll booths are small structures positioned at points along roads, bridges, or tunnels where drivers must pay a fee to continue.

A toll booth typically has a window or automated payment system where the transaction occurs, often creating bottlenecks during busy travel times.

Many highways have replaced traditional toll booths with electronic systems that read transponders mounted on vehicles, allowing drivers to pass without stopping.
