Default Austin Traffic and Toll Roads

I'm of the opinion that the toll roads have helped. I know the exchange over Hester's Crossing that links I-35 North and Mopac was AWESOME, and a huge time saver when I was driving home from Round Rock.

So what do you guys think about the traffic and toll road situation?

As much as I was against toll roads, I think they have actually helped me. When I drive on the regular roads (like 183 in Cedar Park / Leander) there are far fewer cars on the road.

I still haven't spent a penny on the toll roads... but I can see where they are OK in some places. It just burns me that out of ALL of the tax dollars we are charged they could not build regular roadways.

Where the hell does all the money get wasted?

I'd like to know, but I'm sure I would be aggravated if I found out.

I haven't used or plan to use the toll roads. I think it has lessened traffic somewhat, but pretty soon I will be moving so close to my office it won't matter.
