We took the short route through the new "everybody has a license plate, so who needs a toll tag" motorway.
You can read all about it at

Because we would be away from the internet for a few days, we decided to stop and prepay for tolls both ways. On Sunday we could avoid the lines and just cruise on home.
We typed our license plate number into the kiosk and the system told us to confirm our car as a 1993 Honda Ascot. I selected two trips and added $4 in coins.
We got back on the road and drove under the cameras. The system measures your vehicle and assigns the toll against your license plate number.
Your license plate is your toll-tag. Although toll roads are a drag, this was cool.
(I logged on after we got back. Yes, they billed my pre-pay for both tolls.)
