The article in the 'leader' mentions that the state thinks they can use the "run a red light" law to fine toll violators, since there is a red light at the toll booth. This is bogus! If you miss the basket with a coin, you have still paid your toll, even though the light won't turn green. If you don't think that is correct - try picking up the tokens that others have dropped and you may be told, as I was years ago, that coins on the ground are considered "toll" coinage and it is theft to be taking them. The state can't have it both ways (well, they can - but that is where the bogus part comes in). On a busy Friday nite, in the exact change lane - the line is too long to have everyone stop, pay, then wait around for the light to turn green before proceeding. If you keep moving along at 2 MPH and toss carefully - you can pay your toll without ever stopping, and do your part to keep the line moving. OK, now and then you miss the basket and hear the bell - but what are you supposed to do? Stop, get out of your car, and pick up what you dropped on the ground? Sorry charlie... Oh - and how about if the light stays green after the last car went through? Is it legal to keep moving through without paying because there is no red light? The left-most exact change lane at the Hooksett toll often "works" that way! anyway - a moot point now for those with the ezpass.
