the toll booths are only for the out-of-towners without i-pass.

all chicagoland toll roads now have open road tolling (i-pass), so people who live here never actually have to stop at the toll booths anymore (tolls are collected electronically as you whizz by at 70mph).

that's a frequent complaint i hear from out of towners.

for whatever reason, people in chicago tend to use the expressway names, not their interstate numbers.

it's like the anti-LA.
