The reason Michigan doesn't have any toll roads is there's no where to go ~ Indiana, just to the South, provides a vital link between Chicago and New York/Pennsylvania.

A toll road makes sense. A freeway, paid for by Indiana folks, which would primarily serve interests in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan would be crazy doncha' think!?

Actually a lot of truck drivers avoid stretches of toll road by using Michigan freeways en route to northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, and southern Ontario. Many times a longer route is a cheaper route.
