These are all over DFW now.
PING!
What it really is is “Buying your way out of our incompetence.”
I wouldn’t mind paying to bypass Palm Beach County....................
Just like CT and the tolls.
I object to states erecting roadblocks in federally built and maintained highways paid for by tax revenue.
But that ship has sailed, I’m only surprised they aren’t already at every mile marker on every interstate.
(if that's not already in the Bible somewhere, it should be)
I saw a youtube on the Boring company’s plan to build tunnel up and down the west coast. They believe they will reduce an hour commute to 12 minutes. But it will only be open to electric cars and is expected to be another boost to Tesla sales.

Tolls are happening because with more and more vehicles going more places, the network of roads is becoming larger and more expensive to enlarge and maintain. Many expensive roads are old enough to need repaving. Other expensive roads need more lanes and better interchanges or intersections. These projects are very expensive.
It seems decided that fuel and other taxes are maxed out.
Simplistically it makes sense for drivers to pay for the roads they use.
The toll road where I live has entrances where you don’t have to slow down. The tolls are low. So I don’t mind.
And we’ve got to make the electric vehicle owners pay their fair share of road expenses.
Our masters want the serfs to be both unarmed and unable to move about freely... Both essential attributes for absolute tyranny...
