That's bad. because I drive I-10 almost every day, and now I will have to drive on feeders )))

So, as far as I understood, the HOV 3+ drivers will ride I-10 for free, the others will have to pay or use TAG-only.Question: What is the Katy Tollway and where is it located?
Answer: The Katy Tollway is an approximately 12 mile long tolling facility that begins west of SH 6 and ends at the I-10/I-610 interchange. It exists together within the same corridor as the general-purpose lanes of the I-10/Katy Freeway offering motorists the choice of using the Katy Tollway when time is most valuable. This is an EZ-Tag only facility with an option for HOV 3+ drivers to use the facility free during peak times in peak directions. There will be electronic fee collection technology at 3 tolling locations, overhead signage that will indicate which lane drivers should be in based on occupancy, and is dynamically priced to ensure an optimal level of service is maintained at all times. Drivers will have multiple entrances and exit locations from both the eastbound and the westbound mainlanes of I-10 with two right lanes for general EZ Tag users and a left lane at each tolling location specifically for HOV 3+ drivers. The facility will be in operation 24 hours a day with financial incentives provided to HOV 3 users during peak travel times.
