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.

Toll roads are private companies taking over a job that the government couldn't do right.
