| The problem is that they will refuse to upgrade the original travel lanes and only expand their fast lane. Too the point that you are sick of it and decide to pay for the faster lane.
E.x:
I-95 three lanes variable at a max of 5 sometimes all the way down to 1 lane with many exits and entrances congesting traffic and the highway simply does not have much capacity for it's demand. Free to drive.
Florida's Turnpike - Two to five lanes construction is always pushed to the side and almost never close a lane and if they do it's the left lane only. Very few exits and entrances with higher speed limits, gas and resting stops with much merges with major highways at selected key points. You pay tolls, while you travel.
Congestion continues to grow on the I-95 but no construction has yet to be taken place to expand the highway and the state says it does not have enough funding or it's not required for them to do so.
State expands the turnpike from 5 lanes to 8-10 lanes and minimal congestion if any at all.
Eventually everyone will be forced to go to the Turnpike because the I-95 is simply congested and worn out asphalt make the ride noisy and extremely bumpy, while the Turnpike is smooth as molasses.
