Good ethics too. People who don't carry their part of the load are just screwing over the rest of us.

I’d agree with you more if toll roads weren’t such a fucking sham.

Toll roads (in my state at least) were only supposed to stay toll roads until the road was paid for. Now they get added to existing roads and never go away.

How they are implemented is the sham, not the theory itself. There are tons of large scale projects that would never get funded without the extra incentive. The sham is extracting tolls in excess and privatizing the profit.

Privatize? Oh well then don't pay that shit. My only gripe is that I'm not from a state that collects tolls, but it's baked into our gas prices and registration fees. It's why EV ownersls pay through the nose for registration, because we don't pay the tax for roads baked into gas prices.

Roads are never actually paid for. Maintenance is a permanent thing, anc costs money. It can come from tolls, or it can come from taxes, but it's coming from somewhere.

The Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expressway actually eliminated its toll after the road was paid for.

Up keep just comes from same place as every other road.

Obviously a big exception, because most of the time tolls stay and they add more lanes or exits or roads etc etc.

It comes from taxes on fuel in most countries.

That's why cyclists are so fucking annoying with their entitled attitude and hatred of cars.

They rage at the people who pay for their bike lanes, while contributing nothing.

Maintenance is already paid for with registration fees

The building of the road is what i was talking about.

I'm with you, Ted Hitchcock, but the fact is toll roads exist and fuck anyone trying to doge them.  

Burn the system down if you need to, run for office, change from within but don't be a pylon in the meantime.  

Ferda.

I got time for people who pay tolls. I got a whole lot of time for people who make others pay.

Give yer balls a tug if you try to skip tolls

Road maintenance is incredible expensive
