Ditto the Ohio Turnpike.

The bonds were paid off in 1989. The toll booths were supposed to come down at that point. They are still there.

We actually lost our one toll booth in Atlanta. There was a toll plaza erected on i-400 to pay for it. It actually came down recently.

Toll roads are stupid. A gas tax has almost no additional employees where a toll requires a huge number of people. Toll roads are in better shape because the vast bureaucracy associated with regular roads and the relatively few miles of toll roads.

That's true, but it is also true that the Ohio Turnpike continues to be the best maintained, best run interstate in Ohio. ODOT is a miserable mess by comparison to the Turnpike Commission.

Ditto the NY State Thruway, the bonds were paid off I believe in 1994.

We had a similar situation with GA 400, a tollway in Atlanta. Though later than promised, and only after considerable public outcry, the toll booths are coming down right now, no more tolls are being collected. I think they stopped last October.

Ditto the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
The original 25c toll was enough for eternal maintenance, until the criminal politicians had a "better" idea...
