To: drop 50 and fire for effect
Going North and South, they now have signs like this. Even though the toll road is about 30 miles longer, it often is quicker.

The only question is - do you want to spend some $11.00 to use the toll road.

“...do you want to spend some $11.00 to use the toll road.”
————————

On a weekday, h-ll yes. I detest traffic. I live near Stuttgart, Germany now and the traffic jams (stau- which means “stall”) are horrific. The A8 autobahn can be as bad as I-35 in Austin (chronically under construction), but there is no bypass option.

Even smaller roads are packed. A 24 minute drive to work can become a 70 min odyssey with bad timing and an accident in the wrong place.
