Neighbors plan to enforce tolls on Pender Co. road again

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — WWAY told you last month about a Pender County neighborhood that began enforcing tolls to keep travelers from using their road.

WWAY checked in with one of the neighbors to find out when they plan to do it again.

Tourists frequent the Cedar Landing and Creek Estates neighborhoods as a shortcut to get to Surf City.

Jeff Conerly tells us that the neighbors plan to set up the toll road on several days during the week of July 4.

He says all staffing will be by volunteers, so they have to figure out what days will see the highest traffic.

The neighbors say they made $800 off the toll road during Memorial Day weekend.
