US Toll Roads Using A Closed (Ticket) System

[kalvado]

Ah, makes sense. I haven't driven too much on ticket systems and when I have, I've gotten off at more popular exits which have separate booths (and I've used ETC for a long time now). I guess thats why they're popular in rural areas, one attendant can process the tolls of 4 ramps instead of having up to 4 attendants if every direction needs a toll collected.

To add insult to injury: main stretch of NYS Thruway actually has 3 ends: near exit 50 in Buffalo, near exit 16 towards NYC and a spur towards Masspike/Boston, ending at state border with toll plaza at exit B3...

On the Indiana Toll Road, is the Westpoint barrier toll in the same place collecting a flat toll now, or did they build a new toll booth?

If it is new, where was the original 'Westpoint?'

Eastpoint is the only barrier still in its original location.  Westpoint was moved in the mid-1980s from MP 5 to its current location when Willowcreek was added.

It's a new toll plaza.

1960 USGS Topo of the former location

Note the weirdness of the interchange at the former location.

Thank you for the topo map - it's amazing how much that area has changed in 60 years!

Is the ICC itself not a "virtual ticket" system? All of the collection gantries are over the mainline lanes, but if you drive the road it shows up on your E-Zpass statement as one transaction with an entrance at the first one you passed under and an exit at the last one you passed under.

Definitely a virtual ticket toll road.
