Libertarianism at its finest. Get some land, build a road if you want.

From the map, the toll seems to apply to traffic destined to go over a bridge:

Indians have a knack of getting around paying for things. You should see what they do with electricity in major cities.

“From the map, the toll seems to apply to traffic destined to go over a bridge:”

The temp road bypasses the toll booth.

Your post gave me PTSD from a memory of a very crispy human swinging in the wind near Industrial Blvd. in Irving, TX around 2008. It was not my first dead human, but it was freaking eerie...

I am sure that has happened more than once. Check this pic out.

The electric company didn't run those wires.

Reminds me of driving 18’s in the eighties and mapping out how to avoid the Chicken Coops.

Makes one wonder how long they’ve been collecting the toll for that bridge. Probably long enough to pay for several new bridges.
