I could have gone the more direct route through backroads and it would have been toll free, but opted to take the highway as it was dark and I didn’t want to take my chances with heavy morning fog. I don’t mind paying the tolls. You may not have realized that many of these highways do not have tollbooths, just overhead cameras along the way. It’s more efficient and really not terribly expensive. |

any time someone feels the tolls are out of touch: you are invited to head up north & go thru the tolls of NY &NJ.

Maybe this will make you feel better: to get off Long Island via Staten Island round trip, is $35 if paying cash.

It’s not a joke. There is definitely a bear sanctuary and glad there is. People are taking their living area so there has to be some return for the bears. After all, they were here first.

OP:
Next time, use this calculator before you travel. SunPass Toll Calculator It might help you decide to take alternate routes with multiple traffic lights, low speed limits, and heavy traffic to avoid those crippling toll fees.

With all the demands on Florida service, a fee for service system works the best. If you drive on the roads, help pay by charging tolls. No matter where you live you are using the roads so pay for them. That is how turnpikes originated as toll roads. You want the benefit - pay the toll. Why should the people who live here in FL pay for roads used by tourists, truckers and others wanting the sunshine and warm weather. That is why we do not need a state income tax. Many who come here are just visiting and using our facilities. So, let them pay for what they use - fee for service is still the best method either for sales tax or tolls. PS: has anyone looked at ticket prices for the many parks in FL lately? Now there is a fee for service system that makes a profit!!!!! My two cents.

That’s no lie! What does it cost to go over the GW bridge these days? Haven’t been up that way in a loooong time.
