Toll Authority Schemes to Force Public onto Tolls

[TheProlefeed1]

NTTA blocked my from commenting on their video, I posted about hearing their new radio advertising campaign with the guy with Denis Leary voice threatening listeners to "Pay your Zipcash bill OR ELSE end up in front of a judge where your sad excuses will be. yeah.ignored" The NTTA is now spending all that money they received through excessive administrative fees to advertise their threatening mob-style message on highly rated radio shows in morning and afternoon drive in the #5 media market

Solution for both sides: Toll lanes. The fast lane can be a toll lane for people who are stupid enough tonwant to pay extra money to use a road. The rest of us will benefit from their stupidity (and money) by increased road quality.  STAY OFF OF TOLL ROADS!!!

@PoliticalLee That's what they are starting to implement on major roads in Texas... fuck toll roads.

@FreewayTitan - you say "fuck toll roads." Are you ok with the "toll lane" idea? After reading more online about toll roads in general, I think it's unrealistic to expect everyone who doesn't use the roads to be willing to pay for them. It's supply in demand. When a road gets too much traffic and damage, make the "fast" lane the toll lane indefinitely. Once the tolls pay for a new toll/freeway, lower the amount of the toll and use the profits to maintain and improve that road indefinitely.

@PoliticalLee I think the toll lane idea is very good. It is a bit like a FastPass at Disney World, if you've ever seen that. You pay for convenience, which I can totally understand.

[FreewayTitan]

@PoliticalLee Yes, and I agree.

I hate the new toll roads...there so dang confusing! I moved to Dallas in 2005 and was just back in Round Rock/Cedar Park and it's totally different...I used to live in Avery Ranch and now I get lost on the new 45-183A

why toll roads are better than the regular roads? i mean, i am paying my taxes, my registration sticker, my title and all those extra fees, so we can have better roads and highways, and now we have to pay extra fees? even with these high gas prices? what is next? drive to work is gonna cost me extra money and i have to look everywhere so i can avoid paying over and over again. why my taxes can not avoid more toll ways? in the future you will not drive unless you pay for drive in your neigborhood

Thats right dont use the toll roads use the old, messed up, out of the way roads. They dont make money if your off of them. Stay off those new highways full of "traffic cams" police/military check points.
