the thing that these pro tollers have never understood is that they see the toll road as an option. they think that you can choose to take it or not. and that its better then regular roads. Here in Austin the tolls were created not as alternatives to other free roads. they are being built in place of free roads. so the only choice you have is to take the very expencive toll roads. also studies have proved that toll raods are more dangerous then free roads. they are not mantained as well either. last year when we had the ice storm in austin the free roads were all clean and driveable while the toll roads we jsut closed off. where is the toll money going to? and to the guy that was calulating the time it would take to pay off the toll. Toll roads will never be paid off, cause of the mantiance cost. and another point sure the toll road might be fast for now but it will fill up and that will be just another excuse to build more toll roads instead of the free roads we pay the taxes for.
