Every "gate" has painted "no lane change" lane markers, and significant signage.
Those "price per axle" signs are also all over the place on that highway and very large and easy to read while moving.
And the camera systems aren't small or hidden for each lane.
And unless there's a safety notice on them, every four or five miles there's an electronic sign in the center median stating that stopping is not required, your license plate will be sufficient, and you'll receive a bill in the mail.
So...
I'm having a hard time believing the OP didn't understand that the "gates" we're the "toll booths".
If that's what he's saying...
That said, we've utterly lost control of our politicians and CDOT as far as selling off lanes of roadway that was built on public land (and in some cases, taken via eminent domain), to the for-profit toll road people.
Every major highway in the Front Range will soon have "HOV" lanes that double as "toll" lanes if you are traveling alone.
All with exorbitant pricing.
And yet we hear how taxes should be paid because they pay for "infrastructure we all share".
Apparently they spent that tax money elsewhere.
Apologies for losing the numerous battles against our politicians creating these abominations, OP. Most of us who have lived here our whole lives don't like it either, but the out of Staters moved in and think toll roads are normal - and they're starting to outnumber us natives.
We got overrun and there's no reserves to send in.
