I moved to Tennessee from Florida three years ago. I still maintain my SunPass transponders for when I go back to visit family and friends. It also works on North Carolina toll roads through a reciprocal agreement. I get a break on the toll and when the toll account gets low, the system automatically replenishes from my bank account. You can get a "sticker" transponder for $5 at a Publix Supermarket or a transportable one for $25 from SunPass. The $5 transponder is practically free as it comes with a $5 toll credit. Get one and not have to worry about toll by plate or having change for the baskets on the entrance ramps.
Complain about the tolls if you must, but that seems to be the wave of the future. It's the only way that roads are getting built in this era of declining fuel tax revenue and fuel efficient vehicles. Of course you don't HAVE to tale a toll road if you plan ahead, I lived in Central Florida for years and hardly ever used the toll road system and got around fine. But the toll roads are faster and more convenient. You pay for the service or not, your choice.
