> Increase the toll prices to reduce congestion

This stretch of road is already using congestion/dynamic pricing. I've never had to go slower than 85mph the entire way.

Sure, the point is, what about 10-20 years from now when there are enough drivers where the cost doesn’t matter?

It’s like Disney World. They can fill the parks with people willing to pay $200 a day for tickets alone. If you can’t afford it then it doesn’t matter that other people get to get in.

Highways just don’t scale well. Two train tracks can move about the same number of people as 15 lanes of highway.
