What's the widest toll booth you have ever seen?

For me, it is the tollbooth on the Tri State Tollway south of the Hillside Strangler

I'm pretty sure I counted 15 lanes on some of the Garden State Parkway's toll plazas. I don't remember where it was exactly, but I believe it was around East Orange.

The widest ones I've ever seen was on the Indiana Toll Road, just east of of the Illinois border.  I believe that one has 16 booth lanes. Also on the ITR, where I-80 joins I-90 outside of Chicago, there are 15 toll booth lanes.

EDIT: Come to think of it, the eastern end of the Chicago Skyway has about 20 booth lanes (though the east and west bound areas aren't all connected).

New Jersey Turnpike Exit 11 (Garden State Parkway) has 26 lanes total.

I think the widest toll plaza in the world is in India and has 32 toll booth lanes.

Not really but a quick google search made me find the wikipedia page on "Delhi Gurgaon Expressway". Here is the picture for it- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi_Gurgaon_Expressway#/media/File:Delhi_Gurgaon_Toll_Gate.jpg

I proceeded to find out it is the second largest Toll plaza in Asia so that means there is one larger than 32 lanes.  :wow:

I would have guessed the Bellevue Bridge Highway 370 toll booth for the Missouri River crossing from Bellevue NE into Iowa.

There is a reference to the Dehli Guragon Expressway toll plaza being expanded to 59 lanes

I know the widest in Puerto Rico is the Fort Buchanan toll plaza on PR-22.

That plaza I think is wider than the mainline plazas at 18W and 1.  Rare case of when a ramp toll has more lanes than a mainline does.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.
