Toll Systems
Toll systems are mechanisms used to collect fees from vehicles using specific roads, bridges, or tunnels. These fees help maintain infrastructure and fund transportation projects. Toll systems can be manual, where drivers pay cash at booths, or electronic, using devices like transponders that automatically deduct fees as vehicles pass through.
Electronic toll collection has become increasingly popular due to its efficiency. Systems like E-ZPass in the United States allow for seamless travel without stopping. This technology reduces congestion and speeds up travel times, benefiting both drivers and transportation agencies by streamlining the toll collection process.
