A tollgate is the gate or barrier across a road that stays shut until you have paid to go through. In old stories it is a real wooden gate that a keeper swings open once you hand over your coin; on a modern it is the thin arm that lifts after your payment goes through. The word carries a lot of history — in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain, private companies built better roads and put up tollgates to get their money back, and there were even riots against them. Because of that, tollgate turns up in history books and novels far more often than in daily speech today. In ordinary modern conversation, English speakers are more likely to say (the hut where you pay) or just the tolls. Tollgate and sit right next to each other in meaning; the gate is the barrier that blocks you, the booth is the room where the person sits. You will also see it written toll gate as two words.
