I don't know, but I always thought some of them we for people that live in gated communities...I see a lot of cars down here in FL, and I thought that they opened the gates.

Some toll roads have deals where you pay a flat rate, and you get to go through for free each time. The tolls have a scanner that scans the code.

I think tmf is right on with his answer... The bar codes are read by a scanner on gated communities to let you in without having to stop at the gaurd shack.

I'm guessing that you are seeing more of them on trucks than cars/vans, because you are like the rest of here!!! We tend to notice trucks all the time... the other vehicles are just a nusciance that tend to get in our way!!! LOL!!!

There are quite a few reasons. Often times they are used for parking or entering gated communities as said before. They are also placed on some rental cars I assume for keeping inventory.
