While I have joked in the past about that idea, I really don't think it'd be that hard to put into practice with RFID tags.

Pass a new law, incorporate the tags into the registration stickers on licence plates, mount readers on sign posts along the roads and presto! instant toll road. As mentioned before, Deerfoot is a provincial road, so Calgary probably can't turn that into a toll road, but I find the idea interesting. I bet a combination of tolls and Intercity transport would lessen bedroom communities' commuter traffic on City roads.
