toll systems

Highway payment infrastructure

Toll systems are the infrastructure and methods used to collect fees for road, bridge, or tunnel use.

Traditional tollbooths require drivers to stop and pay; modern systems use electronic transponders or license plate cameras to charge accounts automatically.

The highway converted to an all-electronic toll system last year.

The term extends to any mechanism for collecting usage-based fees.
