"Tolled managed express lanes: On roads that already have toll-free freeway lanes, those existing mainlanes would remain free, but new express lanes built in the median of the freeway would be tolled. These lanes would be barrier-separated and would have limited entry and exit points. It might be possible for these lanes to also double as HOV and/or bus lanes, known as HOT (High Occupancy/Toll) lanes. This type of tollway is currently proposed for Loop 1604 North and is being investigated for I-35 and I-10."
This was the point I was trying to make - IH-35 is only in consideration for tolled express lanes. I'll also take this opportunity to encourage you to educate yourself on the difference between the two - cause it's a huge difference. As I said earlier, since you seem to be real concerned about the issue, the least you can do is be informed about the not-so-subtle differences that end up making all the difference in the world.
