The new toll road in Austin, TX has the same fluctuation rates. If you’re a min wage worker, by Friday you’ve already spent a day’s pay on tolls. Looks like DC tolls are even higher. So much for that $15/hr flipping burgers. You’d now needs double that just to get to work.

Question_. What if you don’t have an EZ pass? What if you are from out of town and dont know how the system works but you get in the wrong lane by accident? What if you don’t have EZ pass but get in the lane anyway? How do they enforce it?

I am so glad I don’t live in an area with toll roads.

So much easier to get that old Kickback money by charging outrageous toll prices than actually building roads. No wonder politicians love toll roads.
Of course that’s what the original term highway robbery meant.

Terry Mccaullif’s way of raising state revenue while trying to force global warming crap on people so they’ll carpool? If this doesn’t turn the state red, I don’t know what will. There are going to be a lot of people either really really late to work, or just not showing up. (I guess NOW they’ll HAVE TO raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.) WOW. A liberal/progressive/communist utopia!

Fascism is when government and big business work together to squeeze an entire population. Our taxes used to build roads... We sheeple forget, pay, and do what we’re told.

If youre a min wage worker, by Friday youve already spent a days pay on tolls. But it's okay because the bureaucracy gets the dough.

The point of the fluctuating toll lanes is to keep drivers out of them. If the price is high enough people will opt to use the free lanes no matter how crowded. You pay to keep moving at 60-65 mph. Too many cars go in the toll goes up. Nobody HAS to pay the toll, it’s a matter of “how much is your time worth”? Basic economics. Supply/demand I will supply you a fast lane and the price depends on how many bidders there are.

"...what if you dont have EZ-Pass?..."
Many states will snap a crystal-clear photograph of the vehicle and license plate to mail bill (and any penalties) to the registered owner.
I opt to pay my highway tolls with cash for a more information-free transaction.

What if you dont have EZ pass but get in the lane anyway? How do they enforce it? Cameras aimed at tags. If they use the camera the toll is even higher.
