toll plaza
Turnpike payment station
A toll plaza is a row of booths spanning a highway where drivers pay fees to use the road.
Traditionally staffed by collectors making change, most now feature automated lanes for electronic payment: Traffic backed up for miles at the toll plaza.
The plaza creates a bottleneck where multiple lanes funnel down to payment points.
