    Today's Poll Question

    POLL: Would a bridge toll, only charged during peak traffic hours, be useful at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel?

    A bridge toll is under consideration at major crossings, such as the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, to be charged only during peak traffic hours. This toll could help to reduce traffic congestion during rush hour and simultaneously raise money for much needed maintenance work. What do you think of the idea?

    • No way. I don't believe in socialism, and I will not accept any new taxes, tolls or mandated fees. Never.
    • Sure. I would be able to alter my schedule a little bit so that it wouldn't affect me that much, and spreading out the traffic patterns is the whole idea, right?
    • Yes. I would probably end up having to pay the charges quite a bit, but I'm willing to do that in order to help the traffic situation. We all have to do our parts.
    • What? It's not the money that bothers me - but won't a toll booth just slow things down even more at the tunnel during rush hour?
    • I don't care. I'm gephyrophobic and claustrophobic, so I won't go near a bridge or a tunnel anyway. You can charge those other people whatever you want.
