Opinion Fear No Toll Troll RALEIGH – Expect the usual complaints about the proposed toll for Interstate 95, then ponder this simple question: if not tolls, what? John Hood
News Tolls Considered for I-95 in NC CHARLOTTE — N.C. Department of Transportation officials are examining the possibility of rebuilding Interstate 95 through toll collections under a never-before-used federal pilot program. It will be several years, however, before anyone pays their nickel (or dollar) to drive on the interstate. I-95 is something of an oddity, a major north-south road in a state with an east-west orientation. Aside from a 40-mile stretch forming part of the interstate link between Raleigh and Fayetteville, I-95 also does not serve to connect the major population and business centers of the state. What I-95 does do is serve as a convenient route for motorists driving between the Northeast corridor and Florida. Michael Lowrey
