Many years ago I was traveling west I believe after leaving Somerset Kentucky. Not sure how long after but I got on a toll parkway. Damned thing was eating coins like a one armed bandit. The booths had a big assed cone, maybe six feet across, that you could throw coins in on the fly and keep on rolling. I wondered what all hit that cone! In earlier days a dirty diaper or two could have been a temptation. I was more annoyed by the constant slowdowns than by the money.
An oddity, between parkways and interstates and such I drove from Somerset Kentucky to Acey(St Amant) Louisiana without ever even going through a traffic light. Kinda cool in a Twilight Zone kind of way.
