Willie, Willie, Willie, tollgates are the extension of bureaucratic power and job creation of the state (county).
Tollgates are an anachronism. My big truck is equipped with the Pre-Pass system and the Oklahoma Pike Pass system which permits my free and unhindered operation past such old backups as you have displayed. Nice try though and I give you credit for slowing the conversation to the speed of light rail.

That's not "freedom".
That's "boil the frog".
Once Big Brother gets you to install those things, they'll be able to track you down whereever you go.
Heck, I bet they already have plans to install sensors in your neighborhood to charge you a toll for backing out of your driveway.
Thank God I'm getting old and hopefully won't live long enough to see it.
But mark my words, it IS already being discussed as a method of financing road construction/maintenance because they can't collect a gasoline tax from the battery powered cars.

Rip that thing out of your truck so they can't track you down and plunder your bank account.
Then jump on the light-rail bandwagon to help save gas and postpone the coming shortages.
