Tolling systems

Tolling systems are methods used to charge drivers for using certain roads, bridges, or tunnels. This fee, known as a toll, helps maintain infrastructure, fund construction, and manage traffic. Tolling can be collected in various ways, including cash booths, electronic tags, or automatic cameras that bill vehicles. Some systems use variable pricing based on traffic levels or time of day, encouraging off-peak travel. Overall, tolling helps ensure that those using specific routes contribute to their upkeep and improvement.
