I-95 in South Florida. Currently it maxes out at $10 but I heard they are increasing it to $20.
Not sure if there has been any research, but yes I have heard on the radio how some people are against the express lanes because it does have a negative impact for those who can't afford it, and it's quite dangerous.[1] The latter might be due to a bad implementation however.

- mikeash 10y agoIt seems like a positive impact for people who can't afford it here in Northern Virgina. The express lanes didn't take capacity away from the normal lanes, but they do take away some traffic, so in theory people who don't use them should still be better off.
- felideon 10y agoAh, right. I think down here the problem is that the capacity for normal lanes did get reduced.
- mikeash 10y agoYeah, that's a substantial difference. If it's purely additive then at worst there's some sort of opportunity cost. If they transform normal lanes into paid lanes then it's a whole different sort of thing.
