Quick Summary

A tollway, also known as a turnpike or toll road, is a road where users pay a fee, or toll, to travel on it. These tolls are primarily collected to cover the costs of constructing and maintaining the road, bridge, tunnel, or other infrastructure. Tolls have a long history, dating back to ancient times and becoming popular in the Middle Ages for funding public works like bridges. While toll roads declined in the late 19th century, the concept was revived in the 20th century, particularly for expressways and major infrastructure projects like bridges and tunnels.123
