Got charged for driving on a toll road and didn't even know it...

32. Many toll roads are changing to automatic tolling

I live on the east coast and we use a system called EZ-Pass. Many of the tolling stations are converting to a "No Cash Tolling" system. The governing authorities have installed many signs explaining the process. If you don't have an EZ-Pass transponder, they will photograph your license plate and send the bill to the registered owner. It has been a tremendous improvement in traffic management. The traffic backups that generally occur at toll plazas have been diminished and the reduced toll rates are welcomed by drivers.

Check the routes that you're traveling. Perhaps there are lower cost alternatives. However, I'm a huge fan of cash-free tolling because it keeps the traffic moving at a consistent pace.
