Dulles Toll Road/Dulles Airport Access Road
Truvelo:
I agree with the comment in the tollroadnews link about levying tolls on airport users which means everyone pays the toll. The other advantage is it will put a stop to people turning round at the airport.

And, airport users would still get the benefit of freer flowing traffic due to reduced entry/exit points.
Somehow, I don't think the system will work well trying to decide who's quick trip is a shunpike maneuver and who's is an actually quick pick up/drop off.
MikeTheActuary:
If there's an uproar over tolling folks going to the airport, perhaps that toll could be offset with an equivalent credit at airport parking.
froggie:
If I recall correctly, there's something in state or federal law requiring the access road to be free for airport users. This make sense since it was the FAA who built the road. This is why the access road was not tolled when the DTR was built to begin with (back in the early '80s).
