When specifying a toll booth for collection of money, there are some important considerations. For starters, is the location going to require 24/7 staffing? If so, you may need to include a restroom facility in one of the toll booths at your plaza unless there is already one close by. Also, if it is a full time operation, there should be some thoughts to additional creature comfort items such as anti fatigue mat flooring, adjustable height shelving, ventilation and/or a positive pressure air handling system. A security concern for ‘round the clock operations may call for bullet resistant construction and special cash handling features such as transaction drawers and floor safes.
The outward appearance of the Par-Kut toll booth can be plain or architecturally enhanced. However, the built in features will always include a rugged and safe welded steel frame, insulated walls and roof, tempered safety glass windows, solid welded steel rain proof roof, built in countertop with drawer, factory installed electrical system per the National Electrical Code, and polyurethane finish paint in color of choice.

For scenarios with less frequent transactions and for colder climates, a sliding window that can be opened only as needed is typical.

Toll booths can also be modified with exterior lighting to assist with night time transactions and camera preps for security.
