M prefix on white on dark green toll plate good at Milford on the Merritt-Wilbur Cross Parkways in 1976.
W prefix on white on red toll plate good at Wallingford on the Merritt-Wilbur Cross Parkways in 1976.
G prefix on white on yellow toll plate good at Greenwich on the Merritt-Wilbur Cross Parkways in 1976.

Toll plates were used on the parkway from 1939 to 1988. Different toll stations used different colored plates with a different prefix each year, and started different years. The Greenwich toll plates started in 1939 about two weeks after toll collection began. The Milford station opened in 1940, while Wallingford started in 1951. Dates did not actually appear on the plates until 1946. Others, besides the three above were:
GM=Greenwich, Milford
WMG=Wallingford, Milford, Greenwich
MW=Milford, Wallingford
Thanks to Bill Pate, ALPCA #2214 of Stamford, Connecticut and Joel Finn, ALPCA #8504, of Roxbury, Connecticut for the above information.

Ned Flynn, ALPCA 2083, of Tannersville, Pennsylvania, reports that the tolls were removed,"after a tragic accident that took a number of lives when a big tractor-trailer slammed into the back of a car loaded with people that had stopped to pay a toll."
