toll collector
Highway fee taker
A toll collector is a person who collects payment at a tollbooth on a highway, bridge, or tunnel.
The job has largely disappeared with the spread of electronic toll collection systems, though some facilities still employ collectors for cash transactions: The toll collector waved us through after we paid.
