What is a "toll plaza"?
A toll plaza is an area on a road or highway where drivers must stop or slow down to pay a toll. It typically includes multiple tollbooths or lanes, allowing vehicles to pay the fee either manually or electronically. Toll plazas are often located on bridges, tunnels, or specific sections of a highway, and their purpose is to collect fees that help maintain and operate the infrastructure. In some cases, there are also signs or barriers to guide drivers through the plaza.
