If only I had been able to snap a picture of what I am about to discuss.<\/p>\n

We were driving the other day toward Frisco and exited the Sam Rayburn Tollway to enter the North Dallas Tollway. We drove a few miles and exited that North Dallas thoroughfare. That’s when my wife spotted a sign that read:<\/p>\n

Keep moving, we’ll bill you.<\/em><\/p>\n

That brings me to the point of this brief ditty, which is a comment on the brilliance of the North Texas Tollway Authority.<\/p>\n

There once was a time when I detested toll roads. Why? Because so many of them had pay booths that required you to fumble around for the correct amount of money to throw into some machine.<\/p>\n

Those days are gone. The NTTA sells stickers you attach to your windshield. When you use the tollway, it snaps a picture of your vehicle and your sticker. Then it deducts the toll you pay from an account you have set up.<\/p>\n

Easy, man.<\/p>\n

This kind of ease has converted this anti-toll road fanatic into someone who endorses them wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n\n
