I have never seen a tax go away. Minnesota does not have toll roads but they are looking at changing that in the future. Quote:

Toll roads usually seem better maintained to me.

Not 44 north coming up from Texas. I only new that it became a toll road after my car started handling like it was on shit terrain. I thought that maybe I missed and exit so I started paying closer attention and the next sign that I noticed let me aware that I was on the toll. It was a few years ago,and maybe it's been tended to, but I was still surprised at that

The miles a DOT vs a Turnpike Authority has to maintain is night and day. Most turnpikes are rarely over 40 miles it seems. The exceptions being Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway in NY State and Florida Turnpike at 300 miles. There maybe more but they dont come close to DOTs.
Most highways have a expectancy of 30 years before a complete rehab stripping up old pavement and reworking sub-grade and relaying. That can be extended some by co-milling and overstatement. Seems turnpikes dont mind pissing off travelers and keep a pretty good schedule of replacement. That our roads and bridges are neglected as badly as they have been with volume of cars and trucks out there. Dont even go into how weight limits have been increased. Its amazing how well maintenance methods have kept them as safe and drive able as they are.

Complaints here are: It would be a burden on the low income. Just increase the gas tax.
