This, I predict, will turn into a horrible mess. I drove through that section on Saturday, and the signage was confusing at best. The rates change moment to moment and are posted every mile or two AND THEY ARE CUMULATIVE. It is possible to rack up over $9.00 in tolls in just a few miles if you remain in the toll lane during HOV hours.
 
And when are HOV hours? During designated rush hours Monday through Friday and anytime the "average speed" on the highway drops below 45MPH. In other words... you never know for certain.
 
Also, "The lane continues to remain free to cars with two or more passengers". So how do they know whether or not to charge your transponder account for the toll, unless they have someone looking at each vehicle as it passes each toll section???
 
 
Of course, if you are inadvertently charged in error, I'm sure that it will be a simple matter to have the overcharges reversed.

We can kick the idiots out of office come November including all members of the Legislature who voted for this plus the Governess who signed the authorization.
 
Why does one political party strive to increase or have more taxes?

The entire system needs an overhaul...choosing the identical clown in a different suit won't help much. Rossi or Gregoire (or weasely crony capitalist McGavick) - what would really change? I haven't seen any viable transportation infrastructure plans from either side of the aisle.
 
One side does like to talk of cutting taxes...but they never have the guts to cut spending in the long run...and spending is the problem

& expect the ferry system to be more self supporting. Riding the Bremerton Ferry is the most bang for the buck as far as subsidizing rural living is concerned. WSP patroling the ferries? What's the speed limit on the car deck to be enforced?
 
The gas tax is to be applied to where the gasoline is used, there would be a lot of $ available to build more highways, lay more concrete, and cross more streams without raising the gas tax any more. The EV and GW nuts need to understand they too are to honor the automobile and as such promote and provide for it.
