Avant que le gouvernement ne prenne en charge la construction des ponts, des particuliers construisaient des ponts et exigeaient un droit de passage. Des barrières étaient installées à l'entrée ou à la sortie du pont. Le garde-barrière (celui qui surveille la barrière) avait pour tâche de faire payer ceux qui désiraient franchir le pont.  1, record 1, French, - garde%2Dbarri%C3%A8re
