Austin roads suck. Have for decades. Hence the need for toll roads.

Hate to break the news to these clowns, but people in Texas are simply FED UP with toll roads, which is why the state government expressly forbids new ones now.

Another advantage for toll-roads is it keeps the unwashed masses off and also out of state visitors who have no toll tags and the toll roads don’t accept money.

Pflugerville City Council calls for resumption of Texas 130 [widening] project (4/8)

From article: The widening project was suspended indefinitely by the Transportation Commission after Gov. Gregg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and some other Republicans in November called to shut down all planning and funding of new tollways across the state.

Oops.

183 vs. toll road 183A is a joke. I have no problem it taking 4 minutes longer to save whatever they’re charging to go on the toll road.

I have converted. Sadly. I first came upon toll roads in Chicago and they drove me nuts. However, time is money. I can drive between I-10 and toll road 45 in less than half an hour at 90mph. Going up SH 123 and I-35 would take at least an hour or more determining the day and time.

HOWEVER, this toll road is only 4-5 years old and they have one lane shut down half the distance for repairs already. Wonderful!
