What do you think of toll roads?

Question

I really cannot stand the toll roads with the coin drop plazas every ten to twenty miles. I am a fan of the roads that use the toll ticket/electronic toll collection system.

Answer 1

Hahahaha. I have a halarious story, but I'm not going to embarrass myself here with all of the details. Lets just say that I live in an area where there are no toll roads. I had to drive to Chicago one time and had the lovely oppurtunity of experiencing a toll road. Now I work in transportation, and I was well aware of their existance.....I just had no idea. I'm not big on keeping cash so this was not a pleasant incounter. I hated it.
I thought that was the purpose behind us paying taxes......I don't know.

Answer 2

Of course, I don't like paying the tolls...but usually toll roads are pretty well taken care of and they don't have as much traffic. They are usually a straight route to where you want to go. But if I had to travel them often, I would want a pass or a reduced rate. I think the States that have them, use that money to maintain the toll road and other roads in their state. I guess I don't really like them, but they may be a necessary evil. :)

Answer 3

It depends on how fast I want to get somewhere if I use the toll roads. We pay too much for them

Answer 4

Though it may be irritating to stop and pay every few miles, it is generally better maintained than the free road. So, a necessary evil.

I wish they just read your vehicle number and bill you electronically.

Answer 5

I don't take any now but when I was younger and traveled I did. I always feared not having money and getting caught at one.
