@fallschurch, the problem with tolling is in large part related to who does it.

Tolling makes sense when it might actually capture that amount of money. That is the reason why private companies will build them. They can get a 99 year loan and the return on the toll is higher than the payments.

A public entity is restricted in the ability to get the money, so the toll will be even higher.

And you want to road to be used. otherwise you've got an ICC situation where the toll is too high.

Given where this roads is, I don't see this highways as promoting much new development.
