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. Les commissions font payer les usagers venant d'autres régions mais aussi les collectivités locales, qui doivent conserver les sommes, sous l'autorité d'un contrôleur et d'un trésorier, veillant à ce qu'elles soient réinvesties dans l'entretien et l'amélioration du réseau routier.Plus de 20 000 miles de routes sont sous le contrôle des turnpike trusts avant les années 1830, pour des commissions annuelles de 1,5 million de livres sterling. 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)

During the early 19th century the concept of the turnpike trust was adopted and adapted to manage roads within the British Empire (Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and South Africa) and in the United States. 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. (en)
