Toll Plaza
A toll plaza is a designated area on a road or highway where drivers pay a fee to use the roadway. This fee, known as a toll, helps fund the maintenance and construction of the road. Toll plazas can be found on bridges, tunnels, and expressways, and they often have multiple lanes to accommodate a high volume of traffic.
At a toll plaza, vehicles may stop at booths to pay cash or use electronic payment systems like E-ZPass or SunPass. These systems allow for quicker passage, as drivers do not need to stop for cash transactions. Toll plazas help manage road usage and can reduce congestion on public roads.
