That's a fairly poor way to ration roads. You ought to pay according to traffic load; driving on rural roads shouldn't cost as much as driving on urban throughways. GPS is fantastic for tracking positions of cars and trucks for this kind of thing. Such a carrot-and-stick approach to traffic distribution would go a long ways toward improving allocation of our public roads.
