Lawmakers Target GA 400 Toll Runners

Georgia's State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) reports that there are over $900,000 in uncollected GA 400 tolls due to a high number of "toll runners".

As a result, a bill has been introduced in the Georgia House of Representatives (HB 1190) to close loopholes that SRTA says allows too many drivers to get away with not paying the $0.50 toll. For the article from WSB-TV, please click here.

For a video from WSB-TV on the GA 400 "toll runner" bill, please click here.

There's even audio of alleged "toll runner" Dennis K. Larson being interviewed by WSB-AM 750 talk show host Neal Boortz. This interview is very interesting and I highly encourage you to listen to it.

Please note that while we here at "The Georgia Road Geek" find the interview very interesting, we absolutely do not encourage anyone to break the law regarding the GA 400 tolls or any other law that is on the books. If you disagree with the GA 400 tolls or any other state laws, then please do like Mr. Boortz did and write your state legislators accordingly.

GA 400 Ramp Meters

Finally, we have asked for someone at the Georgia DOT to give us information regarding the new ramp meters installed from Sandy Springs to Alpharetta. Once we find something out, we'll let you know.

That's all for now. Thanks for visiting and please do so often.
