Highway Tollbooth

Highway Tollbooth
Vehicles pass through a tollbooth plaza at the George Washington Bridge between New York and New Jersey. Tolls on bridges and highways help pay for construction and maintenance and are a way for transportation departments to generate revenue. New tollbooths offer electronic payment, reducing transit time.
