Yesterday, I decided to take a video of the opening section of the inter county connector, in Montgomery County MD.
Please take a look at the video. I mounted a video camera on my driver side car mirror, The first part of the video is my introduction and the remaining video shows me driving the toll road. It is not a very exciting video, but I put in some funky music to make the video more interesting. The video shows the first 6-7 miles of the road. (paragraph edited for grammar mistakes)
I liked the first section, but I still do not know if I am willing to pay $0.25 to $.35 a mile.
