It may have been a slip of the tongue but after my daughter said this it made me think, hmmmm what a better name to call it! This is just one of those totally random thoughts of the day!
We were driving to my friends house on our anniversary to drop the kids off at my friends house so we could go out to dinner. My daughter, who will be 5 in 2 weeks, said “Mom, why is the Fee Way always so crowded. My husband and I both chimed in “honey it’s a Free way, not a Fee way.” Then the light bulb went off in my head!
OK so there has been construction on this freeway since 2001 as far as I know and I am sure there has been construction on it before then too. It seems that they do something to it and then as soon as they are done they start all over again!
We have freeways that are toll roads, hence the fee! So this is my thinking process. If our taxes keep paying for us to drive on slow crowded free ways, and we have to pay to drive on other free ways, wouldn’t Fee Way be a better name? Seriously….I think I am going to start calling them Fee Ways!
OK there you go! Like I said, it may have just been slip of the tongue but you know, it sure does make sense!!
Have a great Monday everyone!

That makes total sence to me! There are toll roads everywhere over here, but at least the name is not so insulting. In norwegian you translate freeway to motorway "motorveien"
