That would hit truckers and travelers blasting through town, but not hit the wallets of locals and commuters.
One major problem with this idea. That means everything and everyone driving on that portion of I35 would have to have some kind of toll tag, and/or TxDOT (or whoever) would have to have some way of charging every vehicle and actually collect it.
