Actually, Tolls are a good thing. In Florida, or at least in Orlando and 99% of the I95 highway, the roads are in fantastic shape. They are clean and very well maintained . In the green areas around the highways in Orlando are mostly very good.
Compare that to Montreal where all of the roads are complete shit. Not just bumpy, and not just pot-hole invested because of winter - but terrible, shitty roads criss-cross much of Montreal and surrounding areas. The shining exception to this is a perfect highway bridge called A25 that connects Montreal to Laval. A Toll Road.
Do I want to pay more to use roads? No of course I wish I didn't. But for cities that "Tax" drivers to use the roads like they do in Florida, it appears at least that the money is spent properly.
And like Forest says, there are passes you can buy in most places that save you a ton of money. The A25 pass includes transponder that you install in our car and saves drivers about 70% off the usual toll.
PS: IF you really hate tolls, you should petition your city to get SOLAR FREAKIN' ROADWAYS!
