No there isn't.
The picture shows the Zhuozhou system of 25 toll gates designed to continuously absorb the capacity of the essentially four lane expressway between Beijing and Hong Kong.
If they only had four toll booths it wouldn't really work, would it?

PFAS contamination sites and dead platypus
Mapping "hazardous concentrations" of PFAS plumes on NSW waterways
A study "found alarmingly high levels of PFOS in the livers of eight dead platypuses, collected from waterways across NSW."
"…Due to the shape of the valley, groundwater from beneath the landfill "ultimately flows towards the Ourimbah Creek catchment”.
"When you look at some of the research that's coming through, clearly it's raw water, our waterways, that we also need to be concerned about because we know PFAS gets into wildlife."
"The research that I've seen, not just in platypus, but in some other species, is really frightening. If that isn't enough to get the government to act on looking at PFAS in waterways, not just drinking water, then I don't know what is."

Why #WildlifeCorridors are Essential for #Biodiversity and #Ecosystem Health
November 12, 2024
"Wildlife corridors serve as lifelines for biodiversity and ecosystem health. By providing a unique way to balance human development with #NatureConservation; connecting #FragmentedHabitats and allowing wildlife to move freely. So what exactly are wildlife corridors and why are they so important?
Wildlife corridors are strips of natural habitat that connect fragmented landscapes. They enable wildlife to move between isolated areas, aiding #migration, #GeneticDiversity, and survival. These corridors help mitigate the negative impacts of human development, such as #roads and #urbanisation, on animal populations.
Wildlife corridors serve many purposes, all stemming from their ability to reconnect isolated populations. By preventing habitat fragmentation, they enhance survival rates through increased food sources, cover, and reduced predation. On top of this, they protect biodiversity by enabling animals to move freely between habitat patches, reducing the risk to both wildlife and humans posed by human-made barriers.
Wildlife corridors are crucial for the survival of landscape species, which are wildlife species that need expansive areas to survive, such as tigers in India or grizzly bears in the United States. They are also vital in maintaining safe passage for birds, fish, and mammals, especially as new roads and developments create barriers to traditional feeding and breeding grounds.
These corridors can take various forms, ideally spanning 50 to 200 feet in width, providing sufficient habitat for species using them to travel, forage or nest. They offer a diverse range of habitats, enhancing the opportunities for various wildlife to thrive. Corridors can take the shape of #shelterbelts, #FieldBorders, #RiparianBuffers, and #RoadsideHabitats, each playing a unique role in providing sustenance, shelter, and travel lanes for different species.
Wildlife corridors highlight the possibility of a peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife. Wildlife corridors help direct animals away from human settlements, reducing conflicts and minimising damage to crops and property, while ensuring the surviving and well-being of various species. Raising public awareness of these corridors is crucial for maintaining functioning natural systems on which humans also depend."

Ok a little better road report
I talked to a city employee in a salt/scrape truck. They said they were just scraping and no salt atm because even salt freezes around 15F and its way colder
The road home just got scraped and looked a lot like the snow was gone but there was a lotta icey left. Slickery.
So in general, main roads scraped but slick, side roads.. ya dont see em unless someones been on it. Youre On your own.
Well, perhaps half a day early. Here are your headlines about California's Highways (and a few related topics) for the month of January 2026. As I always say, "Ready, set, discuss".

Snowmobile and ATV riders can now share some P.E.I. roads for the first time
All-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles require different permits and — typically — different trails. But for the first time, both ATV and snowmobile riders on P.E.I. now share some roads.

Episode 4.06 of the podcast is live. This episode covers the San Bernardino Freeway portion of I-10 (Route 10), and along the road looks at the history of US 60, US 70, and US 99 along that stretch of highway. We also discuss the non-interstate portion of Route 10, Route 10S, and historical routings that evolved into the freeway. Long highway, long episode. Enjoy, and as always, ready, set discuss.
