Even toll roads without people accepting payment there, can be paid for in cash afterwards, at least in California

Looks like one location in Irvine is the only place you can pay cash. So I guess technically yes, practically though?

Oh, and it's open : M-F, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Those specific toll roads are only in Orange County, so having one location in Irvine isn't a big deal. Its not a statewide network.

Are there toll roads in the US that don't accept cash?

Many toll roads in the US are being switched to automated systems that either scan a device attached to your windshield or license plate, allowing you to either prepay into an account or pay afterward.

One example, FastTrack express lanes in the Bay area (unlike the lanes on bridges, there is no cash-accepting substitute.)
