0 a gate on a road or bridge at which you pay an amount of money in order to be allowed to use the road or bridge
I am not suggesting that we should go back to turnpikes and tollgates; that would be impossible with the present fast through motor traffic.
In a sense, the ownership of land is a future tollgate into the economy, but it does not produce anything.
This is what is left over from when the expressway and adjacent tollgate were reconstructed from 2000 to 2003.
A tollgate operated on the road until about 1910.
Provided with a tollgate, the wooden bridge was located upstream from the ford, and collapsed in 1847.
Since that date vignettes are required for all vehicles up to 3.5 tons, while heavier vehicles must still pay the toll at a tollgate.
A tollgate stood in the village for many years.
This lasted until the mid-18th century, when the town got a tollgate and a customs chamber.
