I-95, easily the most travelled road in the tri-county, well over 300K in both broward and miami-dade, has two express lanes which require payment, and increases in cost based on traffic density.
This is BS, worse than BS, as in some sections there are 5 total lanes, with 2 of the 5 being express pay lanes.

Also, FL Turnpike was built as toll road in 1960s, with the promise the tolls would be no more once the road was paid in full.
Well, 60 years later every inch of the road requires a toll,,, someone lied!!
Here in Jax, the people were sold on no new tolls. Wrong. Can't build tolls on existing roadways or highways.

How do they get around it, you ask? They build new roads or expand the ones that are in place saying they are only putting a toll on the new part of the roadway
