Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2309976, member: 591"] Don't understand the tolling idea. I suppose you are saying you want to get the folks driving through - but, of course, even regular toll roads capture that. My wife's argument when we were in NJ was that the tolls on the NJ Turnpike should be high, to capture all the through traffic. Your scheme, it seems to me, would still capture significant tolls from residents leaving the state for daily work, and while the low tolls within the state don't penalize local drivers, the truth is that local drivers (immediate local drivers) always have the option to take side roads. I actually like Texas's very high priced toll roads, but like many toll roads, there is a big difference between the toll you pay with an electronic toll reader and the toll you pay without. [/QUOTE]
