SC - SC: Troll OT

[Brian L. Rygg or Laura Barbee-Rygg]

IIRC, it's "tollbooth", not Trollbooth (though you can't always tell by the
person manning it) and refers to the practice of paying for the construction
and maintenance of a road by charging a fee (toll) to use the road.  The
first ones in this country predate pavement.
