Bypass I-95 in NC by taking I-85/I-77.
they should do what florida did with the turnpike. build a new toll road right next to I95 and let people choose to use it (no trucks allowed) and pay for the privilege. i always use the florida turnpike instead of 95 in that section.
Unfortunately, there will soon be no toll-free alternatives. We can thank the "smartpass" technology that is now in place throughout the Northeast - drivers put transponders on their cars that allow them to zip through tollbooths, receiving monthly bills on their road usage as an alternative to paying cash at the tollbooth.
As with all things taxed, it will be done incrementally. One small step at a time. Stretchs of I-95 followed by stretches of I-81 and I-77. Eventually, most of us will wake up to the fact that wherever we go, we are being nickel and dimed tollwise. But by then, it will be too late to do anything about it. Once the government imposes a tax, it is almost never rolled back.
since we voted the big road tax down here in virginia, they have been mentioning tolls here, too on I-95
