In response to "Thanks Florida. EZPass (or iPass in IL, same thing) only works on roads around Orlando. For other roads you need their stupid toll pass. " by spamlet

I have SunPass on our cars and have never had an issue anywhere. Also, there's not many places you need to take a toll road.

the only one I can think of is the toll from Orlando to Miami - but even that you can either go down I95 or i75.

It looks like from Atlanta we can get around it coming down the coast. Going to Huntsville Google won't route us around the Turnpike. - spamlet Jul 21, 06:56 10
- Yeah, Florida's Turnpikes are really just bonuses - or to get around rush hour areas. - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:00 6

    - We approve zoning for a bunch of people to move here, but don't have a high enough gas tax to build the roads they need. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:10
    - It kind of pisses the socialist in me off. I pay taxes for roads, ergo, when we need more roads, they should build them. - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:06 3
      - The problem typically is lack of existing budget to pay for the widening/new road upfront. So they finance them with toll revenue. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:08 2
        
        Right, but I still think once they make that back, they should remove the tolls. - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:12 1
        
        I agree. I don't know the specifics of the toll authority in FL but I would hope toll revenue is specifically set aside for roads under them. -- nm* - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:15
- Ah if I tell Google to avoid the tollway it will. For some reason it wouldn't give me that as one of the options. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 06:59 2
  - Waze has this as well in the settings. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:01 1
    - Yeah usually it will give you a toll and non-toll option in Chicago so I was confused. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 07:06
