  Shunpiking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term shunpiking comes from the word "shun", meaning to avoid, and "pike," a term referring to turnpikes, which were roads which required payment of a toll to travel on them.
Shunpiking has also come to mean an avoidance of major highways (regardless of tolls) in preference for bucolic and scenic interludes along lightly travelled country roads.
One such example of shunpiking as a form of boycott occurred at the James River Bridge in eastern Virginia.

Not content with the payment of a toll, some of the residents got together and built a slight bridge called the "Shunpike" across the Taylor's River, some distance west of the Turnpike bridge, where travelers and teamsters could cross without charge.
This continued on until April 12, 1826, when the toll on the Turnpike was discontinued and has remained a free road to this day.
The entrance to the "Shunpike" can still be seen today on the east side of the last house going west on Drakeside Road.
