The recent 35% increase in truck only tolls on roadways in Indiana has led to some unintended consequences...They really are that stupid, aren't they...

The old adage still holds:
If you want less of something...tax it. If you want more of something, don't tax it.

Take the profit out of delivering goods to your state and see how soon the shelves become empty.

Indiana, Pence’s home state, sounds incredibly stupid for making a tax on roads to fund railroads and bicycles.

The government appetite for revenue is voracious and without end. The solution is not to raise tolls but to reduce government fraud and waste.

I can easily see Indianna officials buying lots of these signs for those roads...
Force trucks to the toll roads. Problem solved.

We don’t have Tolls where I live so I think Tolls are a rip off ,don’t gas taxes pay for roads
To: lowbridge
Signs on all secondary roads prohibiting trucks. Sheesh. I should run for office. Well, except for that time.............

Stop delivering toilet paper and diapers to the capital. Everything from shoestrings to car keys requires trucks.

Roads with weight limits and the guys with their portable scales will put the brakes on the truckers.

Non-toll roads are designed to force us onto toll roads. I can go to work, 22 miles, in 25 minutes costing $5 one one way. Same trip on non-toll roads, 90 minutes.
It’s a big scam.

They’ll try to fix it by installing load limit signs.

I happen to live along Route 6 in Illinois, not far from the IL/IN border and now I know why the truck traffic has increased so much........
I can tell you this: Route 6 near me isn't made for this kind of truck traffic and yes, it's going to tear up the road here big time.
