Not trying to change the focus of your thread.
But be advised the new bridge over the Ohio River in Louisville is now a toll road with NO toll booths. In heave traffic I don’t remember even seeing any signs to that effect, but that’s probably on me. If you don’t have a transponder from RiverLink you will get a bill in the mail, sometime after the fact. Just ask me how I know that little tidbit. For a standard 2 axel vehicle its $2.00 a crossing. With no transponder they double the price to $4.00. Probably not a big deal, in the grand scheme of things. But in my case an annoyance just the same. Just seems like a good way to pay for a bridge by nailing people double that are just passing through and don’t know any better. When I called on the issue saying hey no toll booth on the freeway, even with signs I had no recourse but to go over the bridge and yet you charge me double. The answer given was we can’t put a tool booth up and hinder traffic on I65. Which makes sense, I guess. So now I have a transponder I will use twice a year for our run to our place in Florida which cost $25.00 or $30.00. For what I have tied up in that I could pay the double fee for almost 4 years. I guess it is what it is, and as the DW said suck it up and move on.
