The next time you're travelling through No. Virginia, don't worry about paying toll on the Dulles Toll Road. You see, the EZ Pass lanes don't have any cameras monitoring them. People can, and do, drive right through them without paying a toll. Sure, a large bell rings and blinking lights go off when someone does it, but without video surveillance to capture the license plate number, there's nothing the state can do to issue a ticket or collect the toll money. It's been like this since they first put electronic tolls on the road in 1996. By the way, the Virginia Department of Transportation is aware of the problem, but they don't plan on installing video surveillance until the fall of 2006. All together....Now that's stupid.
