    Off topic, but could someone ELIF why the lanes are all strictly partitioned right up until just before the booths, where they open into a free-for-all, with fewer booth lanes than there were partitioned lanes? How does this not lead to road rage, fist fights, and accidents, causing even more delays?

      This is just a guess: at the end of each partitioned lane there’s two red lights. On the far right side, you can see a little green light on one of them, with cars exiting from that side. I’m guessing they’re controlling when each lane gets to merge into the final booths, so it’s not as much of a free-for-all.

        Well, that’s better. But none of these that I’ve had to drive through have light-controlled merges. They haven’t had the barriers, either, but still more driving lanes than toll-booth lanes.
