“Of course they’re still up, it’s a revenue source.”
Actually ‘revenue engine’ is the term used by the toll road community. Beltway 8 tolls are now being used for street work in Houston. The dirty little secret about highways is that they are VERY CHEAP to build and operate - so if there’s a big market for their use, they make HUGE BUCKS, which is why you see the sweetheart deals between governments and toll road companies.
Houston’s double dipping with their speeding ticket revenue on toll roads.
The tickets are not about safety.
