That's not the half of it. We've also got yearly DMV fee's and there's several toll roads.
What really irks people is how the roads around Hampton Roads are in poor condition and/or suffering traffic to repair them. On top of that, we've got one of the worst rush hour tunnel systems on the east coast (HRBT). There's always rumors or negotiations to build a third tunnel or expand the HRBT, but something always derails it. Usually money.
We pay a lot of taxes for the road system, but I tend to wonder where it all goes. We should have smooth gold plated highways at the amount they drain from us.
I suppose it's not all bad though... our gas tax is low. Lots of people from NC on the border get their tanks filled in VA.
