a travel topic Tolls are fees charged for the privilege of
driving on some roads. They may be charged on a stretch of a
highway or other road, to cross a bridge or tunnel, to enter an
area, or to pass some other point. The purpose of charging tolls
is a form of taxation that is charged directly to the users of
the service. Toll roads are found in many countries.  [edit]
Methods of collection  [edit] Cash  The original and most
traditional method of toll collection is by cash paid directly
to a teller in a booth. This requires the motorist to come to a
complete stop to make the payment. During times of heavy
traffic, jams may be created as many motorists wait their turn
to pay the toll. Fortunately, technology has reduced this
problem in many places.  Some toll collection points require
exact change if cash is to be paid. Some take coins only and
don't accept paper money.  [edit] Cr
