The Benicia bridge has a toll booth for the northbound traffic. It used to be $4 and a few months ago it was increased to $5.
There's a sign that identifies the last exit before the tollbooth but it doesn't say how much the toll is. When a driver gets to the tollbooth accepted payments are "fastrak" or cash only - and there's no legal way to turn around.
On another bridge on the way to San Francisco there's another tollbooth that costs $4. That one has a sign identifying the last exit. And it has a sign announcing the toll AFTER the last exit, on the LEFT shoulder that was already marked "fastrak" - in other words, it's useless.
Since there is no legal way to turn around once a driver arrives at the tollbooth, there must be a prominent sign BEFORE the last exit announcing what the toll is and identifying the last exit.
It's simple and inexpensive and it's the right thing to do.
