- I don't know how much the PA Turnpike costs but the Beeline Expressway
- and the East-West Expressway in Orlando costs over 10 cents a mile
- easy. I seem to recall that the Orlando Sentinel said that they were
- some of the most expensive toll roads in the country. They also caught
- them trying to stop through traffic on a surface street (Dean Road?)
- to force people onto the East-West.
