Toll-taking is a huge waste of energy resources (gasoline).
It takes as much fuel for a car to accelerate from 0-50 mph
as it does to drive 35 to 45 miles.
Same goes for traffic lights and stop signs.
If the US could eliminate toll booths and unnecessary stop signals,
we could save 10 billion barrels of oil per day. [bogus statistic]
One thing I respect about Massachusetts is the free-form traffic flow
in many suburbs. Whereas Smoggyvale California has a left-turn arrow
everywhere that makes drivers have to wait even when nothing's coming.
