Toll Roads, Utah to Iowa

Under "options" in Google Maps, check the box to avoid tolls and it will route you accordingly.

BTW: the Golden Gate Bridge does accept cash you just have to be in the cash lanes which move a lot slower than the fasttrak lanes.

Greetings,

In mid-September, I'll be going East on 70, out of Utah to Denver, taking 76 up to 80, and on to Bettendorf, Iowa.

My mapping device says that route will involve tolls, but doesn't indicate where they may be.
I see where some places are using e-passes and have done away with toll booths.
I would rather not encounter a toll road that doesn't accept cash.

Any info appreciated.

Best

Robert

No tolls on that route

To me this is a very good reason to use a good ole paper map such as an Atlas instead of some computerized maping service. Other opinions may vary.

Does the good old paper map tell you about the Mountain express lanes on I70? Or the slightly older ones on I25?

Paper maps get out of date just as readily as the digital ones.

I'm half surprised at how well I travelled in the 80s and 90s with just state level paper maps. Even the AAA booklets didn't give me much more information. But I was in a suv or pickup, and could handle most surprises. Now I can get much more detail online, almost to the point of spoiling the novelty of seeing a new place.

To tell the truth I do not care. I get on an Interstate and roll. Went I-70 from north of Moab to Indy several years ago with our 5th wheel and thru Denver in the evening. Yes it was slow, but no big deal to me.
