? quoting Tracer Bullet
There are very few (if any) toll roads in the states. Bridges, yes.
Few is a misleading concept. Compared to non-toll roads, there are few. Compared to how many toll roads are needed, there are far to many.
Oklahoma has toll roads. New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky all have toll roads.. I am sure there may be others, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
The east coast tends to have the majority of the offensive things however. :/

Ahh Yes the Will Rogers Turnpike, err toll road. Has the Worlds largest
McDonalds straddeling its both lanes, located in wonderful OKALAHOMA!
Been down that road quite a few times in My Trucker days. The Tol road
between new jersey and New York, is in fact needed.. hell when I was at
basic training at Fort Dix N.J. and had to make a flight that was in
Newark Air Port and only had 30 mins to get an hour away, my taxi
driver did it topping speeds of 130 MPH. I gave him a 50$ tip. Was the
best ride of my life.. and the scariest too. there are toll roads all
around large areas like Houstin, and Dallas Fort Worth, ther are tol
roads all up and down the Easter sea board of the US, and quite a few
in cali. So I would not say a few..there are plenty of them.
How Texas plans on adding the GPS to your car. they have a new Lic.
Plate with the gps chip located inside it, it would be connected to
your LIC plate light to power it. Oh and Numbers will be gone in favor
of the new Bar code design, with the numbers in a small box located
just below the bar code. This way Police can scan your car and have
your info with out having to type it in. That and the new
State/National ID's we have already talked about.. we will be a great
faciest state.. HAIL BIG BROTHER!

I thought it was funny. I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not.
