Answer: TOLLBOOTHS

Tollbooths refer to small enclosed booths or buildings typically found on highways or bridges where drivers stop to pay a fee (toll) to use the road or cross the bridge. The term "coin toss spots" implies that tollbooths were places where coins were traditionally used to determine the toll amount, either by flipping a coin or depositing a certain amount of change. The phrase "once" suggests that this coin-tossing practice may no longer be in use at tollbooths.
