What is a "tollbooth"?
A tollbooth is a small structure where drivers stop to pay a fee for using a specific road, bridge, or tunnel. It typically has a worker who collects the toll or an electronic system to process payments. Tollbooths are usually found on highways or toll roads, and the purpose is to fund the maintenance and operation of these routes.
