Well, since I dealt with the toll road system in America, it\u2019s a sin not to share my knowledge with you.<\/p>\n
At the moment, 35 out of 50 states have toll roads, so the chance to drive on them is so great.<\/p>\n
There are 5,000 miles of U.S. toll roads. 35 U.S. states and territories have at least one toll road.<\/p>\n
Toll roads can be called toll roads (tunnel, bridge)<\/a>, turnpikes, etc.<\/p>\n The least-toll roads are in the west and south of the United States.<\/p>\n There are many toll roads in California near San Francisco (bridges) and down on the way to San Diego.<\/p>\n There are many websites with a cool service: a map in which you can see the states where there are toll roads and how much the fare costs.<\/p>\n There is no Universal Toll Pass<\/a>, but there is a pass that works in 19 states: the Uni Pass. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n It allows drivers to automatically pay tolls<\/a> on all toll roads in 19 states, including Florida express lanes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Most often, I travel to states where this system is accepted. For a passenger car, you can purchase an UniPass at major stores<\/a> and gas stations.<\/p>\n The device must be registered in your name, indicate the type of car where it will be used, and be tied to two sources of money.<\/p>\n As well as EZPass,an electronic toll collection system used on most toll roads, bridges, and tunnels in the Midwest and eastern United States, as far south as Florida and as far west as Minnesota.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The E-ZPass<\/a> Interagency Group (IAG) is made up of member agencies in 19 states that use the same technology and allow travelers to use the same transponder on toll roads on the network.<\/p>\n Since its inception in 1987, the E-ZPass system has included various independent systems using the same technology, including I-Pass in Illinois and NC Quick Pass in North Carolina.<\/p>\n EZPass<\/a> tags are active RFID transponders manufactured exclusively by Kapsch TrafficCom.<\/p>\n They communicate with a reader built into toll lanes or open roads by transmitting a unique radio signal.<\/p>\n The most common type of tag is the interior tag, which can be affixed to the inside of a car’s windshield next to the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n Although paying agencies recommend attaching windshields to the windshield using mounting bars (typically 3M brand Dual Lock fasteners), third-party options use suction cup trays to temporarily attach the decal to the windshield if it is used in multiple vehicles.<\/p>\n Some car windshields block radio signals.<\/p>\n Of course, getting the\u00a0Sun Pass<\/a>\u00a0is the cheapest way to pay tolls on roads in Florida.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n SunPass<\/strong><\/a> is an electronic prepaid fare system used on most Florida toll roads.<\/em><\/p>\n The presence of an electronic transponder is the easiest and most economical way to travel on toll roads.<\/a> Owners of such “tags” pay less; usually the savings are about 1\/3 of the fare for cash.<\/p>\n If you don’t want to buy Sunpass, then choose the “toll by plate” payment option.<\/p>\n The toll-by-Plate system is very similar to the SunPass system but can be a little bit more expensive.<\/p>\n When you pass through toll zones<\/a>, if you don’t have a SunPass<\/a> transponder or mini sticker attached to the inside of your vehicle, the cameras will read the license plate on your vehicle, and you will be automatically billed to your home address.<\/p>\n An invoice will be mailed to the registered owner’s address within a 30-day period, plus a $2.50 administrative charge.<\/p>\n This option does not work if you travel in a managed lane.<\/p>\n Without a SunPass<\/a> or any other Florida<\/a>-accepted transponder, you will be subject to a $25 daily violation charge.<\/p>\n Here is the list of the 3 most expensive toll roads in the USA.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The Pennsylvania Turnpike costs $112.91.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Whiteface Mountain Memorial Highway in New York costs $28.05.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Ronald Reagan Turnpike costs $26.45.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n The tolls in the USA range in price from 2 cents per mile to 50 cents per mile.<\/p>\n Usually, interstate toll highways cost 6 cents per mile.<\/p>\n Non-interstate tolls cost about 13 cents per mile.<\/p>\n 75% of toll highways, including interstate and non-interstate, have a set price all day long. 18% of them change depending on a predetermined schedule.<\/p>\n And only 7% of toll roads change based on the volume of traffic.<\/p>\n Approximately 6 billion journeys are made on such roads and bridges annually.<\/p>\n Thanks to the electronic toll transponders in their vehicles, about 50 million of them never have to stop at a toll booth.<\/p>\n It is Virginia\u2019s Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n You\u2019ll pay almost $30 round trip to cross Virginia\u2019s Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and $36 during rush hours.<\/p>\n Florida ranks in the top 10 states for toll roads in six categories.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n It gets high marks for fatality rates and the condition of its bridges and pavements.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Right now, Arizona<\/a>, Idaho, Montana, Wisconsin, and Tennessee<\/strong> do not have toll roads.<\/p>\nIs There a Universal Toll Pass for the United States?<\/h2>\n
