Toll Plaza Booth

A Toll plaza booth is a physical location on a road or highway where tolls are collected from vehicles using the roadway. Toll plazas are typically set up at specific points along a road where drivers are required to pay a fee in order to continue their journey. These fees, known as tolls, help to fund the construction, maintenance, and operation of the road infrastructure.

Toll plaza booths are staffed by toll collectors who collect the tolls from drivers as they pass through. In some modern toll systems, electronic toll collection (ETC) methods are used, which allow vehicles to pass through the toll plaza without stopping, using technologies such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags or transponders. These systems can significantly reduce traffic congestion at toll plazas and make the payment process more convenient for drivers.

Toll plaza booths can vary in design and size, ranging from simple roadside structures to larger buildings with multiple lanes for toll collection. The collected tolls contribute to funding transportation projects, road maintenance, and other related expenses.
