There are new-fangled schemes for collecting tolls that don't
require that cars slow/stop at toll booths.  They usually involve
reading a gizmo on the car by radio.  People who use the bridge
regularly (the large majority) put said gizmos on their cars
while out-of-towners and people-scared-of-radiation queue up for
the old-fashioned quarter-collectors.
