CliffordOrji:I am a Yoruba man but I stand with you on this. The more prosperous our regions get, the bigger the Nigerian economy. I believe the ball is in the court of your Senators, your Honourables and your Governors. Case Study Calabar/Obudu Ranch. That is a choice tourist destination in the South and all thanks to Donald Duke and the people of Cross River State.I say this because it seems the FG of this country will continue to disappoint we the citizens till God knows when. 1 Like |

Blue3k:Lets look at I-35 you just mentioned. That road is towed only inside Dallas. If you drive out of Dallas through Wichita Falls to New Mexico, there's no toll. I repeat 'no federal or interstate highway is tolled in the US. Have a nice day. |

bettercreature: you are wrong... it is not a good development. it is a waste of money that could be used for some other tangible development. Do your research on toll gates and understand why they exist. don't just jump in the wagon of head-nodders! |

Edoblakky: Its tolled outside dallas to you lying illiterate. An interstate doesnt stop being an interstate because it's tolled at certain sections idiot. It's also tolled in Oklahoma. Stop bring the nairaland fraud and read links. Yes federal interstates do have Tolls. Read links instead of being sore loser. I-635 still part of 35 on interstate system as auxiliary route. You even contridicted yourself because you had to much too much pride to stop clowning. You admit toll exist on 1-35 on in dallas texas usa. Then in next breath say tolls don't exist on interstate highways. davidif: Yes it is read it again. The interstate system include these turnpikes. I-35 includes 1-635 as auxiliary route. Besides this guy said theresults no tolls at all on interstate highways which is lie. They exist if you know how interstate system work. You follow me and still came talking nonsense. You see my links in your feed. Next time just read the link.

Let them pass bills to cut down on their salary and allowances, this is a capital NO but they will like to increase the financial burdens of the common man plying the interstate roads because they travel by airplane. May THUNDER fire all of them in the senate and National Assembly. |

Lol you three were quick to mention me but got silent as soon as the screenshots and links proved you wrong. Thank you for accepting truth. Saying tolls don't exist you guys are were either faking being in USA or don't read well. Have a nice night or day. @WeNigerDelta @davidif @Edoblakky

Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by davidif: 2:15am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: Wow! That was incredibly petty. Either way, I never questioned the existence of tolls in the U.S I just simply questioned seeing any toll gates on I-35, a interstate freeway I have used very often. I know this because I usually try my best to avoid turnpikes as much as I can. |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by WeNigerDelta: 2:30am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: Have been a lil busy so haven't had time to reply you. How about you kindly read what you posted thoroughly. The parts of the interstate tolled are by local authorities, that build and maintain that portion of the interstate. Not the Federal government and no Federal highway funds is used for the building and maintenance of those roads tolled. Note: Can only be tolled if no highway funds is spent on the construction reconstruction or improvement of the part tolled Again the Federal Government of the US doesn't toll it's highways/interstate. States/ local authorities that construct and maintain their portion are allowed to toll. If you know the history of the interstate then you'll know why some state opted to do this so an not to be arm strung by the Federal government to do its bidding.

Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by Blue3k(m): 3:14am On Oct 27, 2016 |
WeNigerDelta: Your arguements was that tolls don't exist on roads not that federal government puts tolls on them. Now stop lying before I pull up quote. davidif: Dont care if it's petty. You were rude telling me stop spreading untruths so u had to be tagged in this. In case you forgot your quote below. davidif: |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by WeNigerDelta: 3:25am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: Man for real? Please pull the quote. When did I say tolls don't exist on roads? I said interstates are not tolled, only cities and local authorities toll. U said that some were and pointed out examples I told u the only instances those are permitted. Simple, they are not built and maintained with Federal Government funds, hence my initial statement stands. Since the Naija highways that wanna be tolled are gonna be built and maintained by the FG your US comparisons are void and don't apply. You really need to pass what you're smoking man. |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by Blue3k(m): 3:31am On Oct 27, 2016 |
WeNigerDelta: Yes you implied it unless I'm thinking of other dude I tagged. You alone asked where U.S federal roads are taxed I gave examples. Stop playing games if it. It doesn't matter which governing body does it whether state local or federal. The examples show an interstate is tolled. The rest of you comment doesn't apply. WeNigerDelta: |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by WeNigerDelta: 3:39am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: Bruh bruhh bruhhhh. You really tryna be petty and look for straws here man. The full quote clearly stated its a city toll. They don't apply because they make you look like you're tryna be petty right. Like I said it is a city toll not a Fed toll. Federal government of the US don't have any tolled interstate. Now show me a Fed tolled interstate like I requested for. Not one constructed and maintained by a city/state. Let me add this last part just for trivia. Look at the states that have these tolls, they are mostly republican controlled states. They are all against big government intrusion and the Fed telling them what to do. You sound like u live in TX, so u should know a lot about this. |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by Blue3k(m): 3:54am On Oct 27, 2016 |
WeNigerDelta: You the one battling strawmen you bozo. I never made any mention of federal government collecting tolls in us. All I asked was to make sure its electronuc toll. Your changing your statements now like a snake. At least edit your post before lying to my face. You didn't request for federal toll nitwit. You Asked FOR Example Of Toll On interstate. Blue3k: My original post you replied to. WeNigerDelta: Your full quote snice you want to lie. |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by WeNigerDelta: 4:03am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: Alright, I'll take this really slow. I won't edit my comment, I'm sure of what I said and I meant it. Like I said in that comment, these are TOLLS built by CITIES, to ease rush hour traffic. Keyword there, built by cities, I clearly stated that in my first post. I didn't comment about the electronic stuff, only said you should stop misleading people and acting like interstates are tolled in the US. They are not, cities toll the ones they build and maintain, and they are built to ease rush hour traffic 90% of the time, how is that too difficult for you to grasp. Now check which part of I-35 is tolled, you'll notice is mostly the parts in Dallas/Plano area, where most people go to work. It's mostly 635 that's tolled, and 635 is just a massive loop around Dallas, it doesn't take you to any other state, you get off it if you going outta state. 1 Like |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by Blue3k(m): 4:16am On Oct 27, 2016 |
WeNigerDelta: I never said they weren't so arguements doesn't apply. So why did u write this to me. Since all I mentioned was electronic toll. WeNigerDelta: See like I told you interstate is tolled doesn't matter who does tolling. Who cares if it's cities or state or federal government. You told me cites toll them now they aren't tolled. Edit your post make sure u add federal government doesn't toll them. I did say you didn't specifically ask for federal government just interstate. Cities and states are also included in interstate system to pay for roads jointly. Federal Government paying vast majority. WeNigerDelta: Ok I agree the interstate is still tolled like I said. I also said the 1-35 part is wrong because it's also tolled outside of Texas futher north by oklahoma Kansas border. If the section of interstate is tolled then that means interstate state is tolled. Now get your story straight instead of lying. WeNigerDelta: You didn't ask for federal toll like I said and you restated that fact. You said interstates aren't tolled again.

Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by WeNigerDelta: 4:23am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: Please who do you pay your toll tags to? DART or some Federal government agency? How come your Dart/ Dallas toll tags don't work by the Kansas/OK border, if it's the same interstate toll? I'm sure the Kansas/OK border is a huge truck stop town, with hundreds if not thousands of travelers passing daily, as such the local governments of those areas thought it would be more economically viable for them to construct, maintain and tolls that part of I-35. Wtf are you actually tryna say? That they are interstates tolled by the Fed? |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by Blue3k(m): 4:30am On Oct 27, 2016 |
WeNigerDelta: I never said it went federal government collects tolls. I specifically tolled you interstates are tolled full stop. You made another Strawman. Interstate meaning highways included in inteestate system. Each individual state decides if they need toll and hire what ever company they want to collect. Don't conflate arguements. Another strawman. Dart is the train and bus route specificly for dallas. NTTA is toll tag and yes it works in Oklahoma. Quote me if I did say what your insinuating. I qoute you anytime I want to prove it. |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by WeNigerDelta: 5:08am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: My bad on Dart. I'm not gonna keep this back and fort. Tolls tags only started working in both states in 2014 after they did a collaboration. As you know people commute between North Texas and OK for work daily. I just checked it out, prior to then it didn't work. This topic is about the FG of Nigeria, building, maintaining and tolling highways and you posted a pic of a US city toll. Like see it's even practiced in the US. I said and I'm saying the Federal Government of the US do not construct interstate and then toll it's citizen. Full stop, simple. If they do, show me where they do. |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by Blue3k(m): 5:13am On Oct 27, 2016 |
WeNigerDelta: I agree with you and never said federal government did toll roads. I said toll roads exist on interstate like you asked for (which example proved). I posted picture to give example of electronic toll for Nigerian governmen to implement. Great now we're on same page thank you for being good sport. Now it's on to the silent intellectually dishonest @Edoblakky to open his mouth. He's the last person that needs to explain his lies. |
Re: Senate Passes Motion To Reintroduce Toll Gates by WeNigerDelta: 5:19am On Oct 27, 2016 |
Blue3k: The electronic part is way too complex for Naija to implement now. First FRSC address database has to be up to date. Then motion detection cameras that run 24hour. Before we talk about scanning the tags and then the 24hour power to run all of it. You can keep dreaming though. Goodnight man. 1 Like |
