I have this post from 2005 titled (Portions Toll) that refers to my annual 24-hour roadtrip to Florida, but the unintended effect is that people regularly arrive here looking for an explanation of the phrase. I assume that they are people reading it on a map and can't intuit its meaning - which is reasonable. It's not exactly obvious, and it's one of the few phrases I have ever encountered that if you google it, nothing useful comes up.
Until now: What "portions toll" means is that the highway at that point in the map is neither all freeway nor all toll road, but some parts of it (like, say, a couple of the major exits) have a toll and other parts do not.
