A toll road is a type of roadway where drivers are required to pay a fee, known as a toll, to use it. This fee helps fund the construction, maintenance, and operation of the road. Toll roads can be found in many countries and are often used to manage traffic flow and reduce congestion on busy routes. Toll collection can occur at various points, such as toll booths or through electronic systems like E-ZPass in the United States. The amount charged may vary based on factors like vehicle type, distance traveled, and time of day, making toll roads a flexible option for funding transportation infrastructure.
