this morning and I should be collecting tolls in my neighborhood by this afternoon. I might even sell lemonade on the side!

$1 a car?

$3?

$5?

through my neighborhood and I will even include an ice cold lemonade drink all for $5.00. Won't be long till I'm joining the ranks of the wealthiest!

Don't go for maintanance.

That would be an interesting court case.

If so they can get stuffed. I drive a beater, and i would happily accept a little body damage driving through their little toll gate or whatever they have.

If it’s a private development I suppose that’s another issue. Not enough detail in the story.

The cross street has private road signs posted. Google street view camera car didn't continue down Cedar Avenue beyond this intersection. Several other streets leading into the neighborhood had private road signs posted. Looks like people use this to bypass the traffic on Hwy 210/Roland Avenue to get to the beach.

Good for them. I live on a private road that the Harley riders love to use in the summer. Since I actually own a section of the road, this gives me ideas.

I imagine that 210 is backed up horribly every week when the rental houses are changing over. Drive through the neighborhood and jump back on to 210 right before the bridge to the barrier island. Cedar gives the residents two exits to their neighborhood, but probably also makes a good way to bypass tourist traffic.

and charge $5 every time a resident wants to leave. Let's see if they use public roads more often than the public does the private one.

I don't think you'd be a popular addition to the local HOA meeting or whatever they have going on.

one use of their road. Put a toll gate at the entrance to each public road that connect to them and charge them $5 to get onto the public road(s).

The people that live on that private road are part of the public, and ALSO pay for the public ones....just like you and me.

However, you and I don't pay anything for the maintenance of their road.

You're argument would be kind of like saying that the City should charge me every time I wanted to leave my driveway because I won't allow the public to park in my driveway.

Although, those living on the wrong end of the road won't like it. It would be to make it so there is only one entrance and exit.

One that didn't involve closing their road.
