Some of the cites above seem to imply that an interstate can’t be a toll road. But the Ohio Turnpike and the Pennsylvania Turnpike are both part of I-80.
Careless and reckless are subjective on public property too. So what? That’s what I get paid the big bucks for. Then I have to convince a judge that I’m right.
Pretty much all the toll roads I can think of here are interstates: I-355, I-294, parts of I-90 and I-94. The only exception is a 6 miles road called the Elgin-Ohare Tollway, which is Ill Rte. 390. ETA: Almost forgot I-88 to the interstate list.
I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just pointing out that not stopping when the law requires you to is obviously careless. Not stopping when you are not required to - is not necessarily careless. it would be so much simpler if they just made traffic signs applicable on private property.
With the usual caveat that I’m only speaking of one state, they can make it applicable. The property owner can request for all traffic laws to be applicable on their property. There is a process in which the private roadway is inspected to make sure the signage and markings comply with state law. After that it’s entered into the local ordinance and all motor vehicle statutes can be enforced.
How can cops give out speeding tickets on privately funded toll roads?
In the case of the Dulles Greenway in northern Virginia, it’s becausethe owners hired the state policeto work the highway, and gave them full enforcement authority – including writing tickets.
