If the price of the tolls is so high that people are trying to evade them, perhaps they should be brought down to more reasonable levels. Tolls should not be used for anything other than road maintenance.

Oh please. People have been breaking the law over tolls for years. How many people run through the tolls that are 50 cents. Some people just don’t have ethics and will find a way to cheat anywhere they can.
Back in the '70s (I think), NYC had a big problem with bootleg cigarettes being trucked in from down South to avoid their high cigarette taxes. The officials were asking for more money for more agents to stop the trucks - usually 18-wheelers packed to the rafters.
They were crying the blues at a press conference when one reporter suggested that maybe if the taxes were lowered, they wouldn't need the extra agents. The look of dumb horror on the official's faces was priceless. At first the idea of lowering taxes was incomprehensible. Then when it was, they recoiled. They haven't learned a damned thing.
