It's possible to have toll roads without tollbooths. Don't blame a confused driver for poorly thought through infrastructure.

It's almost like allowing more motorists to get to constrained-width roads more quickly doesn't reduce congestion. That can't be right, else we wouldn't keep widening the naffing roads outside towns "to cure congestion", would we?
Do the roadworks and speed limit between J31 & J30 have a knock on effect? And I guess running convoys of Hazchem lorries through slows things down, neither of which happen southbound. Having watched eons of my life drain away as I queued for the toll booths, it's a big improvement.

Is that a 2 page essay on the inside of a ping pong ball or a 2 page essay on the inside of a ping pong ball?

It is an improvement in overall time as the queue is moving constantly rather stop start ( has been when I have used) and I like the ease of paying ( and reduced rate).

A few years ago I arrived at the barrier at the Dartford Crossing all smug as I'd got my £1 coin ready before I left. I was in a hire car and went to wind the window down to lob the coin in the basket, but there was no window button there where one would normally expect to find one. No handle or anything and I was too near the basket to open the door easily, so after a good 2-3 minutes of faffage that felt like a lifetime, I finally found the button to wind the window down (tucked away underneath the handbrake FFS!)
Luckily, as we all know, everyone down there is really patient and polite so there was no blearing of horns or hand gestures from the queue behind at all. O no
