If you don't want to pay the toll on the deerfoot/crowchild ect..you will end up clogging up other roads...this plan makes zero sense, what am i missing?
And the best part there is those other roads would primarily be residential streets.


Anyway, as far as tolling the highway entrances goes, I would kill myself laughing if Rockyview and Foothills counties responded by setting up tolls at twice the cost for vehicles leaving Calgary and entering their jurisdictions.
