As I was driving back from MIA today after dropping someone off for a flight I drove through the the sunpass lanes on 112 and just thought to myself why are we still building toll roads with boths in this country. We can warehouses where all locations of products are known real-time as they move, we have hospitals where a baby can’t be taken into the wrong room with out staff being notified. But on our roads we still have to have someone sit in a small both and collect payment while causing unneeded traffic congestions, decreased fuel efficentcy and unneeded construction and labor cost. Here a toll implementation that completely removed the booths and implemented the automatic surcharge for vehicles not registered under the toll system or equiped with an RFID transmitter. The surcharge was not a fine it was just a higher toll charge that would be mailed to the registered owners address. This completely removed the traffic congestions at the toll points. http://www.infrastructure.org.au/DisplayFile.aspx?FileID=4
