Yes, I am in Houston, USA. Most of the highways in the US are free, but there are also some that are toll roads. In Houston, Westpark Tollway is a toll road that charges the entire way. 99 and 10 are toll roads that are divided into segments, meaning that there are some segments that require a toll. 59, 45, and other highways have a separate lane that is separated in the middle of the highway, called a Toll or HOV lane. The toll price for the Toll lane is variable, and the HOV lane is free if you have two or more people in your car (including yourself). There are also lanes separated by barriers on 10th Street, and the lanes inside the barriers are toll lanes. When driving in Houston, it is recommended to rent an Ez tag or TX tag, so you don't have to worry about toll roads. And the most important thing is that the Texas government does not recognize the driver's license from the People's Republic of China, but it does recognize the driver's license from Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Who knows how to pay the toll for the 520 floating bridge in Seattle? We only found out that there was a toll when we drove on the 520 floating bridge yesterday. There are two ways to pay: one is to use the Good to Go electronic toll system, and the other is to mail in a bill and pay a fee. We didn't have the Good to Go system, so we drove through the mail-in toll lane. Now we don't know how to pay? Because it's a rental car ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
