What happens now if you turn up at the toll booth one second before
the deadline?


there *isn't* a barrier in your way


There's a traffic light.


Is there a pulse of cars after the cutoff time, ie people driving
deliberately slowly to save the money?

I never arrived close enough to see what happened 2 seconds before/after.
