Unk, notice how heavily traveled that stretch is? LOL
Gonna take some time to pay for the cameras. I don't remember seeing another vehicle there the two years I've used it.

Re: Toll road @ Baytown
 

E-470, the toll road that runs east of Metro Denver, has camera tolls for those that don't have an in-car toll transponder. Your license plate gets its picture taken at every toll point or exit that has a charge, and they send you a bill in the mail to pay the toll. That rate is 20% more than it would be with the transponder. The drawback with the transponder is they float cash from your bank account to cover the charges before you actually use them - you deposit $35 into the account, and it sits there until you use it. Use it down to a balance (of your money) of $12 (if I remember right), and they automatically take another $35 from your bank account to float until you need to use it.

I talked to several people that used it not knowing that it was now a toll. They will get a bill if they didn't have a toll sticker. I checked the toll and it was $1 for a regular vehicle and $6 for a rig. That's to go about a 1/2 a mile !!! If your coming for the National Event there is an alternate. If your going east, go to the next exit past hwy 99, turn right, go to the light, then another right. From the west, exit before 99, turn south, then a right at the first light. Of course that could all change if they screw with th traffic control.

I taled to Seth Angel today at the track about the toll road & his statement to me was that for the national event Texas was going to monitor the traffice flow and any vehicles that didn't have an EZ pass would NOT be billed but that Texas would bill the track. They NEED to be able to use this stretch of road to facilitate traffic flow in and out of the facility.
Those words from the track manager.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike has exits that are EZPass only.
