US 95 N becomes a toll road around Portsmouth, NH. It’s been like that as long as I can remember.

Simple solution. Stop collecting federal fuel taxes in Texas and stop accepting federal money to care for the roads. Replace the revenue with tolls. The consumer saves at the gas pump and pays tolls on the roads previously supported by the federal taxes. That solves the double taxation problem and keeps the road revenues inside the state where they were generated.

Once tolls are in place, the government will refuse to take them all down at a later date. Tolls are too much of a money-maker for the government, and the government will just cling to their existence like barnacles to the flesh of whales. One just has to look at the total toll situations in both New Jersey and Massachusetts to see all of the continuous problems that tolls create.
