Should 400 and 316 have been built as 3-digit Interstate spur routes?

They're still building Toll Roads in Austin area, they are literally expanding one right by my house. They are also making managed lanes on U.S. 183.



GA-316 likely won't end up tolled with the exception of maybe HOT lanes through Lawrenceville. They will just take a decade or so in converting it into a full freeway. I believe GA has a law that prohibits turning existing state maintained lanes into tollroads. It was passed just after they completed the I-85 managed lanes IIRC.

As for states without toll roads, Arizona is smaller than Georgia by about 3 million people but it has no toll roads besides maybe manage lanes.

DNT runs parallel to US 75. Maybe you mean extending DNT north of US 380 in Denton County? That could still be in the works but that's an extension not a brand new road. Regarding PGBT, have not heard anything about expanding farther south on the eastside of Dallas. It already goes all the way to I-20. They last new toll roads I recall for DFW was adding toll lanes on 360 south of I 30 and the Chisholm Trail Prkway in Fort Worth but that was a good 4-5 years ago. I also seen no new Toll Roads in metro Houston or San Antonio.
