"I really don't see how a toll road that doesn't exist yet will "push" cars and trucks off of it onto existing roads."
Please read my post more carefully - I was referring to the future plan. And yes, tolls, particularly if they are as confiscatory as planned (i.e., to fund Ben and everyone else who wants to drive for free on surface streets), will push people off of these roads.
The idea to PREVENT this stupid dynamic from taking place, rather than leave it to the next generation of politicians to clean up Perry's mess.
It's mildly interesting that you consider someone making a (presumably) rational economic choice (to use the tollroad or not) as being "pushed" upon you. Is the source some sort of sense of entitlement?
Of course you do.
Look, the voters have said that they don't want "pay as you go". For you to say that "pay as you go" is an option is ignoring reality.
