Toll Ways Hurt The Flow of Transportation
By: Lance Winslow
The United States has never done a full study on the economic losses caused by the toll ways, which impede our daily lives and the flow of our transportation. Transportation is vital to the health of a nation, its GDP and the flow of commerce and trade. Each time we put up a barrier or tax something we slow down our civilization and that has a ripple effect which extends past the regions where those toll ways are. Toll Ways are a tax on civilization and make no sense because they slow economic progress and therefore cause a decrease in economic output and the over all tax base of payroll and sales tax. In the end we all lose. But how much did we lose and how much are we losing each day?
All toll ways should disappear in all states. Interstate toll ways and highways should become freeways. This increases flow and removes the cancer and build up blocking arteries of the transportation life-line. We should take all the information we know about flows and information and use them to keep our systems safe. We take all the traffic information, weather information, daytime population migrations, census data and we put it all together and display it on a 4-D model we can watch and study to improve traffic flow;
By doing this we can see what the roads on the NY Toll way into NYC are doing with pot holes the size of wheel barrels and destroying truck undercarriages and suspensions on even the Hummer SUVs. Giving your hard earned money to pay toll and then being subjected to bumpy roads, which are ruining your car. Imagine paying to drive on a road when you cannot even keep from having your Big Gulp or Starbucks popping out of the drink holders. This is modern bureaucracy at best and highway robbery at least.
Eliminating our toll ways will provide faster and more efficient flows to our civilization. When we finally wake up, we will understand just how much. We are clogging our arteries and it is killing us. Think about it.
