Organizations such as AAA have sued toll agencies who take toll money and put it toward expenses other than the roadways.

The courts side with the agency despite the egregious misdirection of funds.

The intersection cameras determine the traffic flow and the signal sequencing so there’s hardly any wait anyway unless opposing traffic is entering.

The lights in my neighborhood have no such traffic sensors and they're painfully long.

This was not a problem when they actually employed toll booth operators.

More BS
Keep it simple...

Attempt to back up your statement —”Sales Tax on gasoline (most states don’t)”

Show the states without a gas tax.

24 States require a front plate. Previous to Utah (which does not) I lived In CA, NV, and HI which all require a front plate.

You guys lose, CALIFORNIA SUCKS when it comes to gasoline prices.

Put as much lipstick on your pig as you want, it’s NO SECRET that the people in California are getting ROBBED BLIND by their government every time they stop at a gas pump.

...that simple.

—”Organizations such as AAA have sued toll agencies who take toll money and put it toward expenses other than the roadways.”

In Illinois, they piss the money away on A helicopter for the toll commission, crazy money for a specially made table for commission meetings, and on and on...
And do not overlook all the coat holders and unemployed brother-in-laws in need of a high-paying position...

LOL, give it up, NO ONE here wants to move to California.

Maybe go work for Zelensky, you’ll get more support here if you do that.

People are already paying for road maintenance with their gas taxes and with their license plate fees.

Those taxes are not being used for road maintenance and upgrade. The politicians spend it on buying votes then turn around and tell the population they need more money for roads but will take that as well.

Nobody seems to demand an force the governments to at least publish the tax intake for roads along with the expenditures.Politicians would just refuse anyway since they will not let the taxpayers know what criminals the politicians really are.

In Florida, they add it to your registration costs. You have to pay fine of no registration.
