I didn't either the first time - but then was rather annoyed when the nav 
system in the car put me on a toll road for < 0.25 mile (basically I had 
to pay getting on and getting off two ramps), so I (think I) asked my 
class about it, and they told me about the frontage roads.

Maybe it's changed since then, it's been probably 5 years ago now (where 
DOES the time go?)
