What are turnpikes?

Turnpikes are roads, often highways or expressways, that require drivers to pay a toll to use them. Historically, the term referred to gated roads maintained by private companies or government agencies, with the collected tolls funding road maintenance and improvements. Today, turnpikes are commonly operated by state authorities or private entities, and they play a crucial role in regional transportation networks by providing well-maintained routes for long-distance travel.
