georgia 400 sucks part 3
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2004Every day I travel on Georgia 400, which is the only toll road in Atlanta. Despite the fact it is the only toll road, this is not a secret. There are several signs notifying travelers that it is a toll road. There is even a sign at the last exit before the tollbooth, which states clearly and unambiguously, “last exit before toll.” It is not like Georgia 400 is a double secret toll road, with toll ninjas that randomly pop out and demand 50 cents.
This morning, I watched in amazement as the person in front of me pulled into the toll booth, put their car in park, stepped out, walked to the trunk, opened the trunk, retrieved 50 cents, got back in the car, threw the coins in the basket, and drove off. What the fuck?
