TxDOT’s vision of Congestion Relief

4 Lane Toll Road in Median of 8 Lane Freeway
Notice the congestion on the non-toll lanes. Does this look like congestion relief to you? TxDOT is planning to make our free lanes frontage roads with permanent stop lights and 30-45 MPH speed limits to boot! Tolling our roads isn’t about congestion relief, it’s about a new revenue stream for the state. It begs the question: Did the lottery end our public education woes? It’s pretty clear tolls won’t fix our congestion problems either.
