These Are the Most Expensive Tolls in America

Unless you’re lucky enough to live in one of the 25 states that don’t have road tolls, you probably sigh and automatically roll your eyes every time you see a sign that reads, “Toll plaza ahead.”

Unfortunately, those tolls are necessary to help pay for the upkeep of the road and to help build new ones. But some tolls are so expensive that you’d think they were collecting money to replace the asphalt with gold.

If you’re planning a road trip that takes you on any of these roads are bridges you might want to find an alternative route. Even though it might take you a little longer to get to your destination, you’ll save a lot of money.

(These are the best states in America for road trips. And bonus, most of them don’t require you to pass through these tolls.)
