There are few toll roads on the west coast, as well as in the central and southern regions, and some states are completely toll-free: Arizona, New Mexico, South Dakota, North Dakota, etc. 2. There are many toll booths on the highways in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and other states on the east coast. Along Interstate 95 on the east coast, starting from Florida, passing through the capital Washington, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston all the way north, it is one of the highways with the most toll booths in the United States. Payment methods: 1. Electronic payment: Purchase a prepaid card for the highway in advance (such as Ez tag) and affix it to the inside of the windshield. When passing through toll booths, use the dedicated E-pass lane without slowing down or stopping. The card reader at the toll booth will automatically obtain the information from the card and then deduct the corresponding fee. 2. Cash payment: Use the cash lane at the toll booth, usually with dedicated personnel. Unattended lanes require automatic coin insertion and accept paper bills and coins.
