Many Hampton Roads drivers aren't happy about flex rate tolls on I-64's HOV express lanes (www.wtkr.com)

I hate this in Northern Virginia too. If you plan to take 66 with dynamic tolling, you head out of the toll free path, and finally get to the sign with the toll price. If the price is unacceptable, what do you do? Drive 7 minutes back to the toll free route?

Seriously. I lived in NOVA briefly many years ago and it took me legit over an hour to go 5 miles on the interstate. Tolls do nothing to alleviate congestion and only punish people by making them pay more money for no reason other than to make the toll collectors profit.
