Should toll roads be paid for?

             In response to Adela Moreno blog posting on July 25, 2014. titled " Driving is not always priceless" found her blog titled "Forgotten Alamo" i must respectively disagree with her opinion  that paying of toll roads by taxpayers should be free in the sense that it is a choice to decide whether or not to pay for toll roads.  It is not a must that everybody will have to pay for toll roads, in other words those who decides to drive through toll roads should be able to pay for it as well. Since there is always alternatives to toll road, i think it is avoidable other than saying it should be free.  For example, i always drive through the alternative roads to toll road, as a matter fact i set my GPS  to avoid toll roads and i don't have to worry about paying for toll roads.  However someone who feels they must drive through toll roads should be able to pay for it as well.
           
              Also the money charged in toll road are very cheap and affordable by people who use those toll roads when they compare it to the cost of gas, those who use it might prefer to use toll road than to drive extra mile consuming their gas. Also most people believe that using toll roads enables them to meet up an appointment when in a hurry. Knowing this benefits make me believe it is worth paying for by those who use it. Rate of toll roads for the current year can be viewed in the following website  http://www.mobilityauthority.com/projects/183a.php
        
             Texas should have to pay for toll roads if they use it, those money gotten from toll roads might be useful to the government in providing certain service that we all might enjoy.  Maintaining the roads is the most important thing and not the issue of paying of for toll roads.  Therefore those who use toll roads should pay for it regardless of the location of the toll roads.
