Toll roads charge more for larger vehicles. Vehicle registration may be more expensive for heavier vehicles or vehicles with more wheels. Meanwhile, toll roads may have just as much traffic issues and no guarantee of average velocity.

How is that not similar to ISPs throttling?

Not that I care much either way. I care more about localities and states encouraging or enforcing monopolies.

That’s not similar to ISP throttling because you’re paying for the scale but a flat fee for any use of that same scale.

The toll road doesn’t forbid trucks or cars painted red just because traffic on the toll road is heavy. Paying for the size of your vehicle isn’t like throttling; it’s like paying different amounts for different bandwidths.

It’d only be similar to throttling if the toll roads charged different amounts based on the contents of the vehicles.
