It's a big safety thing. The technology can easily handle you going through at 50, 60, etc., mph. In places where they have the high-speed EZ-pass lanes (places in PA come to mind), they have enough room so that the high-speed lane is very separated, and is separated for a long time.
The problem is that in a small toll plaza, if you have two adjacent lanes, one with someone stopping (to pay cash), and the next lane with someone going 60 mph, as they merge together, it's a very dangerous situation.
So to make it work, you need the high-speed lane to stay separated until the other lanes have merged, and had a time to reach cruising speed.
