Turnpike trusts were bodies set up by individual acts of Parliament, with powers to collect road tolls for maintaining the principal roads in Britain from the 17th but especially during the 18th and 19th centuries. At the peak, in the 1830s, over 1,000 trusts administered around 30,000 miles (48,000 km) of turnpike road in England and Wales, taking tolls at almost 8,000 toll-gates and side-bars. Turnpikes declined with the coming of the railways and then the Local Government Act 1888 gave responsibility for maintaining main roads to county councils and county borough councils.

  • Les turnpike trusts, institués au Royaume-Uni par une loi de 1707, sont des organismes indépendants publics chargés de collecter des commissions sur le trafic routier pour améliorer les routes, au moment où se développe le concept de public trust. Ce système encourage la création d'un système de diligences. (en) (1717-1810), qui a combattu les « rébellions jacobites » de 1745, a par exemple institué une diligence entre Knaresborough et York. De 1765 à sa mort en 1810, il conçoit et construit la plupart des nouvelles routes du Lancashire et du Cheshire, d'une longueur totale de 185 miles. (fr)
