As a relatively new phenomenon VA does have Express Lane tolls. They have “dynamic” pricing, so the 1/2 mile from Point A to Point B could be $0.90 or $3.50, or $4.70, depending on traffic/demand. There’s also a “flex” plan for HOV cars. No toll booths, just electronic recording of entry/exit and somehow (maybe random) passenger counts.
There’s a toll road on I-95 heading towards Richmond, VA and points south (i.e., the Carolinas/GA/FL) and another that is on the VA side of the Capitol Beltway. The I-95 toll, if taken the entire distance (maybe 20-30 miles?), can run $15 or more in prime time.
Given the traffic in this area, sometimes it’s worth paying the high toll. Personally, I stay off the roads as much as I can, especially during rush hour.

I’ll be darned,I never heard of that———it makes sense.
