People have to pay to drive on a road?! Wow, just wow. Glad I live in a place that has no toll roads.
We have the Maine Turnpike....I avoid it whenever possible.
And we think illannoy is bad? Our tolls would be about 1/20th of that. Screw NOVA.
Most of the “roads” in Alaska are nothing more than 4x4 trails. ;-)
the $40 toll is the right price
Yes. And what most stories about this matter fail to point out is that the people who now are being hit with the high toll are only those drivers who previously could not use this road at all during rush hour, due to HOV restrictions.
Therefore, nobody is really worse off with the new system -- whereas a lot of people now have an opportunity to use a road that was previously closed to them, as long as they're willing to pay for the new privilege.
(And if they're not willing pay, they are still perfectly free to use the non-freeway routes they were using before.)
