...we want to do it [toll collection] right,

"Right "would be shutting down the world's most archaic and stupid way of collecting road money. Put it in the reg fees or gasoline taxes or both. That way they could rip out all the toll booths. Think of all the millions of hours drivers have waited in those toll lines over the decades. What a waste of human capital!

Actually toll roads are the most libertarian idea currently being practiced in the US. People who use the roads pay for them. Those who don’t use the road aren’t forced to pay for them through taxes.

Here in Texas there are no toll booths or human toll collectors. There are ‘gateways’ that collect tolls electronically without drivers needing to slow down.
