      I thought the same thing and experimented with this earlier tonight, and it looks like the game *does* in fact start to rapidly decrease highway traffic once the number of toll booths per route gets above ten or so, making for rapidly diminishing returns. It is quite likely the setup in the video is fairly close to the peak income one can generate with this method.

    What I am saying is THIS IS A REAL THING. And apparently not just there, because Oklahoma Governors legally get a small percentage of taxes from toll roads they installed during their term per year... even after they leave office.

Exactly 5 lots of 12 seconds will be "The ideal time taken to have a cup of tea and make another". Meaning in another 5 lots of 12 "The ideal time taken to have a cup of tea and make another" will contribute to 3600 cups of tea in 144x25 "Ideal time taken to have a cup of tea and make another"'s.

      A bus ticket to NYC is cheaper than the tolls where I live!
