What about the traffic in the toll lanes? Surely the traffic is much better there. In Southern California, a similar thing happened to CA-91. Immediately after construction, traffic in the toll lanes moved at the speed limit or faster, while traffic in the non-toll lanes appears stopped during the heaviest commute periods. It seems like requiring an economic solution almost guarantees congestion problems (and is perhaps, arguably, the point -- to extract a toll (ie. easy profit) from a carefully designed scarcity). Why not try solutions that directly address the causes of the congestion (lots of vehicles trying to move through the same small area at the same time)?
