I live in Texas and I love toll roads. Those who use the roads pay for them. Those who don’t don’t. Adding toll lanes to existing roads is also a good idea. If you wish to travel in a less congested lane you pay a toll. If you do not wish to pay the toll stay in the bumper to bumper traffic
“Those who use the roads pay for them.”
Actually pay several times what it cost for the road. In Houston much of our ‘tolls’ go to the city for slush funds. In Pennsylvania, the Turnpike sends $500M a year to train systems in Phili and Pitt.
So, yea, I could live with tolls too, if they ONLY went to the roads being tolled. But since that is NOT THE CASE for virtually all toll roads (other than Kentucky where they paid them off and converted them to freeways), it’s better to NOT HAVE ANY.
