better proxy for true need IMHO.
= 100 million a year (275K a day)... 50K daily traffic...$55 bucks per
car... NOPE...
How many trucks? Bridges in the Bay Area charge $20 toll for trucks,
so $50+ for a good 100+ mile toll road wouldn't be at all out of line.
275K/55K is $5.50
And though I like switching the I-15 idea, I-21 would be TOTALLY
appropriate for Vegas
The attraction of I-11 is that it can continue northwest to Reno.
Then again, maybe 21 could as well. And if you start including
interest, cars have to pay probably more like $7 (still reasonable) -
but remember, that's just for the bypass of Phoenix, not the rest of
the route to LV. So you may be looking at higher tolls than that,
maybe $10-$12 for the whole route. Now it's at best an average
proposition.
