Well, not this toll booth, at least not yet. We came across the Throg's Neck Bridge and I was stunned to see that the toll booths were GONE! We haven't crossed the bridge in a month or so, and there was some construction going on, but we had no idea what was coming. They have replaced the toll booths with E-ZPass transponders which allow drivers to go under the radio receivers at 45 MPH. And if you don't have E-ZPass, a camera will take a photo of your license plate as you drive away, and then New York State sends you a bill. I wonder how many will not pay the bill? But I will tell you this, there is NO traffic backup coming off the Throg's Neck Bridge! So most likely these toll booths are next on the chopping block!

EZpass is a genius creation! Trace
