It would cost money--more toll booths, more toll takers. Many things people think something ought to be done about never do get done, especially if the state or turnpike authority can't can't find the money.. Wes Leatherock snipped-for-privacy@aol.com snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com
***** Moderator's Note *****They could install high-speed readers for cars with transponders, and promote the service and the time saved in the 'Fly By' lane. That would cost very little in relative terms, especially compared to the value of the time wasted by all those motorists.
And if 'Fly By' isn't a trade mark, I claim it here and now.
