Potential toll road; I-15 in Arizona.
« on: October 28, 2011, 03:59:11 PM »
The Great State of Arizona thinks they need to enhance their revenue on the backs of tourists and truckers who travel between Mesquite and St. George. If these WORMS manage to get this in place, We need to figure a way to push back.

Any intelligent suggestions appreciated.  I understand that AZ residents will get a pass.  Nice to know some of us are more equal than others.

I've noticed the same road wear problems on west bound Interstate 10 and Interstate 40, just as you're leaving Arizona, on the California side.  I suppose that'll be the next logical California toll roads (if the I15 toll road comes to pass, setting a "precedent"). :-(

Everybody looking for money where there isn't any...the toll booths need to be installed on........ WALL STREET!! :x :x :x

lots of 'em

They already have em in DC so Wall street is a likely spot but the PRK is probably next.
