To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Taxes and tolls. Two constants in life. We have tolls in Richmond, VA that were supposedly only going to be in operation until something or other was paid for. That was 20 years ago and they’re still in operation.

Has a US Toll Road ever reverted to a Non Toll freeway? I’m sure there is at least one example...somewhere

Lucky you! Here in Kentucky we don’t have a single tollbooth or toll plaza. Years ago, ten major highways called “parkways” were built here, to connect parts of Kentucky where the Interstates won’t go. When you drive on them, they look a lot like Interstates, except that I can’t remember seeing any billboards alongside the roads. I understand they were toll roads originally, but the tollbooths were removed after the cost of building them had been paid.
