Following is 2 of its meanings:
        - a fee levied for the use of roads or bridges... (used for maintenance) => the same meaning with "toll"
        - someone employed to collect tolls

Hi guys,

I've never heard the term 'toller'.

I would call someone who collects tolls a 'toll-collector'.

Best wishes, Clive

If toller means a person or agency who collect toll,  how can it fit this sentence?

Thanks

Hi Qianlizhiing,

We don't think it means that. We don't know what it means - could you double-check to make sure that's exactly the word?
