Glenn,

Let's be fair, Toll roads in the past have been useful ( and profitable 
to those who built and operated them ). One of my ancestors built and 
operated a toll road between South Carolina and North Carolina. Here is 
a description of what is left of his toll road. It is now a hiking trail.

"The 5.3-mile Jones Gap Trail follows an old toll road that was built by 
Solomon Jones in 1840 and was in use until 1910. The trail, a spur of 
the 80-mile long Foothills Trail, runs from US 276 above Caesars Head in 
the west to Jones Gap State Park in the east."

I do agree that the toll road that is the subject of this thread does 
equal banditry.
