Fortunately, there aren't many toll roads in Oklahoma. Motorcycles do have to pay them... In theory. The toll used to be a lower price for bikes, but that was changed to the same as autos, long ago.
If there's a toll booth with a person working it, you have to pay. If it's an automatic toll booth/station, you can always go around the metal detector upon exit. This is a set of bars stretching across the center of the lane, but the things don't cover the entire lane. It's easy to just go around them, thus recouping unfair toll charges at manned booths. I do suggest you pull to a stop, and look for dropped change, however. Sometimes you can find over a dollar in scattered quarters, ect..
Some States, such as Oregon, are experimenting with GPS monitoring, in order to tax motorists by mileage, rather than tax them at the pump. Of course, they aren't supposed to monitor WHERE you travel, just the distance... I've got swampland in Utah for sale, if you believe that.
I hope you Islanders can defeat this. I know it's expensive enough on you guys, what with $7 gasoline to have to purchase. Best of luck.
