Homonym: Toll (Fee)
A "toll" is a fee that drivers pay to use certain roads, bridges, or tunnels. This payment helps maintain and improve these transportation routes. For example, when you drive over the Golden Gate Bridge, you pay a toll to support its upkeep and ensure safe travel for everyone.
Tolls can be collected in different ways. Some places have toll booths where drivers stop to pay, while others use electronic systems that automatically charge a vehicle as it passes. This system makes it easier for drivers to keep moving without stopping, which helps reduce traffic congestion on busy routes.
