I rarely use toll roads; the impact is felt most by those entering NYC from NJ and those who moved into cheaper areas in central NJ and along the coast.
There is so much congestion in NJ, and it spread with urban sprawl; charging tolls really didn’t address it (doesn’t thin the herd). As I understand it, tolls can only be charged where there is a free alternative - and those alternatives are choked no just with traffic, but traffic signals, businesses alongside the roads, etc..

Yeh, understand about not thinning the herd. People and corporations are relocating so fast to DFW area that roads and concrete can’t keep up. I live near the corridor where much of the relocations are happening and being retired I stay off the roads during morning and evening rush unless absolutely necessary.
