Bet they have been looking for that thing for a long time now ! Climate change ? ? Maybe a wee bit warmer then than now ... or colder, than we experience. Or perhaps it was drowned in the BIG FLOOD.

Tell them you don't owe them anything. Dispute the bill or it becomes a legal debt for sure. I never paid the red light tickets but I sent them letters. Just exactly who is demanding money?

Well, there is a toll. As to signage, I could see why you'd missed it.
This is from 2019 and now I don't know what it is.

By time the sign comes up there is no option but to go through one of the slots.

I was stationed at Fort Presidio (San Francisco) in 1973 and went across the bridge every day. So when we started on the Bridge I was expecting a trip across just like any other Hwy.

So , there isn't any turning off/around/exit once the "Charging" is introduced. If there was a choice I would have turned around rather than agreeing to pay to use a public road. Its more the feeling of "Agreeing to be raped" thing , than it is any amount of $$$.

It's sort of like taking a ferry boat ride across the river , you make a choice to pay or not . The way the bridge is , there is no choice once you get going and no warning before ya get on. Don't seem right to me .

Like being "Swindled"

Soon all of the Bay Area bridges will have no toll plaza. If you don’t have a fast trak account you will receive a bill. Not even a lane for cash payers. All in a effort to increase the flow of traffic and do away with the toll takers jobs. And for non payers they put a hold on driver’s license renewal and/or vehicle registration renewal until fees are paid. Progressive California . Used to be more people moved to California than moved out but that is no longer true ! MM your rental car company probably ratted you out Grin

Just heard in the last day or two that HP is moving to Texas.
There goes a lot of taxes out of the state.

My mom used to work for HP in the ‘60’s, back when they had a company picnic each summer in the hills around Santa Cruz it seems, lots to do, everything was free, tons of food, Bill Hewlitt and Dave Packard visiting with everyone there. They were nice folks.
