There is not a major thoroughfare in the Houston area that is not a toll road. I have friends down there that pay a regular $200 to $300 bill every month for tolls. And that’s with the discounted auto-pass box.

Which is why I warn folks about toll roads, but even here we have folks who think they’re Great.

That is factually incorrect.

45,59, Ih10, Highway 6, 290, 610, 288, LaPorte Freeway etc are not toll roads, they are traffic nightmares, but not Toll Roads.
Only the HTR, Parts of Beltway 8 and the Grand Parkway are to my knowledge toll roads down here.

I45, US 59, I10 and US 290 aren’t toll roads. And where there are toll roads you can take the service roads for free. If course, that sucks.

I LIVE here, and, what? There are a few toll roads here, the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8), the Hardy Toll Road (expressway from downtown to IAH and The Woodlands), 99/Grand Parkway, and the Fort Bend County Toll Road. They are putting in a toll road on 288 (Downtown to basically Hwy 6 to the South). That’s it. There is no East/West toll (I-10), Loop 610 is no toll. 59 is no toll. Now, there is a toll for the HOV lanes, if you’re less than the prescribed number of people.

My toll bill is about 10 bucks a month.
