History of Toll Roads
Toll history stretches back to Greek mythology where Charon the miners charged tolls to carry the dead in the river Acheron and Styx to Hades. If the soul paid a toll, Charon transported across the river. If not, it wandered between death and life forever.
Many modern European roads were originally built as a toll road to cover construction costs. In the UK the 14th century, some of the most widely used fixed with money raised from the tolls based on the grant pavage. Turnpike trusts established in the UK from 1706 onwards, and ultimately responsible for the maintenance and repair of the main road in England and Wales, until they gradually eliminated from the 1870s. Most believe the existing roads improved, but some new ones, usually not too long, well built. Thomas Telford Holyhead road (now the A5 road) as the new road is very long, was built in the early 19th century with many toll booths along the jalam.
Some cities in Canada have a toll road in the 19th century. Roads radiate from Toronto that required users to pay at toll booths along the street (Yonge Street, Bloor Street, Davenport Road, Kingston Road) and disappeared after 1895.
The 19th century, the boards are usually operated as a toll road. One of the first motor AS, Long Island Motor Parkway (which opened on October 10, 1908) was built by William Kissam Vanderbilt II, the great-grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt. The road was closed in 1938 when it was taken over by the state of New York in lieu of taxes back.

In the 20th century, the road toll has been introduced in Europe to finance the construction of the toll road network and road infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels. Italy has become the first European country to implement the use of toll highways on the highway km 50 near Milan in 1924. It was followed by Greece, which allows users to pay for the road network around and between its cities in 1927 . Then in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as France, Spain and Portugal began to construct the highway largely with the aid of concessions, allowing rapid development of this infrastructure without huge government debt. Since then, the motorway has been introduced in most EU member states.
