Toll roads — New Hampshire Permit Test
Toll roads on the New Hampshire permit test — 5 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
There are two ways to pay a New Hampshire toll: with cash, or through the electronic toll collection system known as E-ZPass.
Choosing the wrong lane at a toll plaza means stopping where nobody expects it, which is how plazas produce collisions.
There are two different ways to pay a toll. One is with cash, and another is through an electronic toll collection system known as E-ZPass
E-ZPass allows drivers to drive through designated lanes without stopping to pay a cash toll, which reduces traffic congestion.
The whole point is that traffic keeps moving, so a driver who brakes in an E-ZPass lane defeats it and surprises the car behind.
which allows drivers to drive through designated lanes without stopping to pay a cash toll, thereby reducing traffic congestion.
At a cash only toll lane a driver should come to a complete stop at staffed lanes and should not get out of the vehicle.
A person standing at a toll plaza is standing in a lane of traffic, which is the one place they cannot be seen in time.
Come to a complete stop at staffed lanes.
A driver should never back up or reverse direction at a toll plaza.
Traffic arrives at a plaza in lanes that split without warning, so a car moving backward is met by one moving forward.
Never back up or reverse direction at a toll plaza.
In an E-ZPass toll lane a driver should obey the posted speed limits but should not come to a stop.
Stopping in a lane built for moving traffic is the thing the following driver has no reason to expect.
Obey posted speed limits in the toll lanes, but do not come to a stop.
On the test
What are the two ways to pay a toll in New Hampshire?
Cash, or the E-ZPass electronic system. Choosing the wrong lane at a toll plaza means stopping where nobody expects it, which is how plazas produce collisions. New Hampshire Driver's Manual, p.25: “There are two different ways to pay a toll. One is with cash, and another is through an electronic toll collection system known as E-ZPass”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
