<div dir="auto">Also FWIW, Washington State Ferries are considered part of the state highway system. For example: <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=47.17.080">https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=47.17.080</a><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">"Fare" is more common than "toll" here (<a href="https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/fares/">https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/fares/</a>) but I don't recall ever hearing "fee" in the context of a ferry.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 19, 2019, 04:55 Joseph Eisenberg <<a href="mailto:joseph.eisenberg@gmail.com">joseph.eisenberg@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I asked my wife (native American English speaker) how she would<br>
describe a ferry that wasn't free. She thought of paying a fare first,<br>
for foot ferries, but when pressed suggested that "Toll ferry" was<br>
better than something with "fee"<br>
<br>
Searching online, I'm finding results for both "toll ferry" and "fee<br>
ferry" from official ferry website, so it seems both terms are used in<br>
parts of the Egnlish-speaking world.<br>
<br>
In Washington State, the regulations refer to "toll ferries" along<br>
with "toll bridges":<br>

<br>
And this link from England refers to a "toll ferry":<br>
<a href="https://www.roads.org.uk/articles/studland-motor-road/making-motor-road" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.roads.org.uk/articles/studland-motor-road/making-motor-road</a><br>
<br>
So it looks like this is a reasonable usage based on plain language.<br>
