In the Austin American-Statesman, there's an article on "Managed Tolls" as a possible alternative to full-fledged toll roads proposed for Mopac and other major routes in Austin, Texas. What the article describes sounds similar to the HOV lanes in Houston and other cities. An advantage would be that Mopac would remain a free route for those who cannot or will not pay tolls for roads that were already paid for with taxes. It sounds like an interesting compromise.
