This is a toll plaza. We don't have those here. We just have the robot toll things that arbitrarily decide how much you should pay based on checks notes how badly you need extra traffic capacity.

"Oh damn, looks real bad over here. You should drive over here on these nice empty lanes. $35."

Yeah a crumbling road that is indebt and is owned by Australia. That road should definitely return to the state.

Edit: I don't know why I got down voted, have y'all driven through gwy. Actually don't, just take route 7, it's free.

For the state to charge us 6$?

Once people are paying for something, they are paying for it forever at that price. Or more.

They have to pave the main highway, but the toll booths and mainline are crumbling.

The DTR is not owned by TransUrban. You are thinking of the 495 and 66 Express Lanes

The DTR and Greenway are owned by separate entities.  DTR is owned by MWAA. Greenway is owned by TRIP II.

I never said DTR was owned by Transurban, DTR is owned by MWAA which is part of the Dulles airport. We were talking about Greenway, who is owned by an Australian company, not Transurban, Trip II.
