I think this post is kind of a fun topic really, though not
necessarily fun for the people that have to deal with toll roads. I've been all
over the U.S in the places that I've lived in, but I haven't been in Texas for
long. So far, I've been able to diagnose a few things about the toll roads
here:
1. They're inconveniently placed (Either they're in a
direction that nobody is going, or they funnel cars to such a degree that they
create traffic).
2. They're not priced high enough (A whole dollar to go on the
toll road? The problem with having such a low price is the fact that people are
less likely to pay because there's no financial ramifications).
3. There aren't enough to justify the roads or a pass (I
know of two toll roads, as I've only been here for a few months, the 183A and
the 45. I have also heard of getting a pass which allows a person to travel the
toll roads unlimited amount of times for x amount per month).
For these reasons, I agree with Lauren. The toll roads here
are not executed in a logical, or fiscally responsible, way. It is possible to
fix the situation by addressing any one, preferably all three, of my reasons.
In this way the Austin toll road system may still be salvaged.
