It would be fun to find out just who is EXEMPT from paying tolls on these roads. I suspect that most people voting for the tolling are part of that group.
I live near the I-95 Express Toll Lanes. It’s amazing how few vehicles use it. The other day, I saw a State Trooper with his Boffo Laser Gun standing on the shoulder and pulled someone over by walking onto the road in front of the driver.
It was easy cause there weren’t any other cars on the express lanes.
I see lots of police and state vehicles use it cause they are exempt from tolls. Very few others really use it.
More often than not, I’ll eyeball a car as it gets on the express lane and still be next to it, sometimes in front but almost always in view when he gets off and back onto normal lanes.
So of course, they are extending it by eight miles.
