What really irritates me is that when the built E-470, which is basically a bypass around Denver on the east side, they were going to charge tolls for 20 years and then it would be paid for and become toll free, like C-470 on the west side of Denver. But...as usual...someone figured that this was a pretty substantial source of revenue, so it will always be a toll road now. Same old story.

Yeah... not a pleasant group of people sometimes... especially in the heat of rush-hour.

Warning, Warning, Idiot at the toll booth. Let's run him over. Yeah, that's the neighborly thing to do.
Greg, I can actually hear them from here.

Toll roads
In KS, you take a ticket when you get on and then pay a fee when you get off - based on how long you were on the turnpike.
The ones we have been on in OK tend to be more of a fixed amount at every toll booth - no ticket to lose. However, when we were on I-44 we got on at one point and they told us we could use the receipt at the next booth to get a refund of part of what we just paid. That seemed like a pretty stupid system to me, but I'd guess that most people don't bother getting the refund, so it is extra revenue. The only advice is just to pay attention to the sign and have a pretty good idea of whether or not you have enough change for the unattended booth.

OK, I didn't read this whole thread but why not just plan your trip to not go on any toll roads. ???

We used to have toll booths around here but they have all been taken down after the hwy was paid for. Having said that, We got caught on one by accident during rush hour and not ready for the toll booth while traveling on bikes in Nova Scotia. Luckily my sister in law was a passenger on the bike ahead and had access to her change and time toget it ready as we moved along. By going through the attendant assisted lane, she was able to pay for both bikes. So from that I learned to carry lots of change that I can get at and if possible even with the correct change head for the attendant assisted lane to pay. The flow is at a bit slower pace with people getting the correct change and gives you the few extra seconds needed when passing through on a bike.
