That's when they laugh at you for making you have to pay a stupid toll to a dumb city.

The Hardy Toll Road runs from Interstate 45, north of Houston just below the Harris County line, to Interstate 610, near central Houston. The road generally parallels Interstate 45. The portion from I-610 to Crosstimbers Road is known as Spur 548, although this is unsigned.
Construction on the toll road started in September 1984 and the entire road was complete by June 1988. The toll road runs 21.6 miles and costs $2.50 to drive its full length ($1.25 north of Beltway 8 and $1.25 south of Beltway 8). A four-mile connecting road to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport requires 75 cents toll. At each toll booth, a 25 cent discount applies to electronic EZ TAG users.
The road is named for nearby Hardy Street, which in some areas make up the frontage roads for the toll road.
A large portion of the southern segment resembles Austin's Mopac Expressway in that an active line of the Union Pacific railroad runs along its median. Like other toll roads in the Houston area, the speed limit is 65 mph, even inside Beltway 8.

The Hardy Toll Road is a toll road that connects Houston to a ritzy suburb known as the Woodlands--panned by critics as being called the WhiteLands.
It was built about 15 years ago to give communters a new way forward if you will when commuting to downtown from the northside. There are two toll plazas. You'll pay a dollar at one and two bucks at the other.
It is probably the worst freeway outside of Cambodia in terms of scenic beauty. The road is just plain ugly and it cuts through three ghettos.

Hardy Toll Road - $1.25 per toll & 50 cents (I think) to exit. It beats the freeways because usually - but not always - there is less traffic & you can make better speed.
