Always check no tolls. It’ll always recommend the toll, unless there is an accident or major traffic disruption, even if it only saves 1 min. Rarely are tolls worth it outside peak hour.
One time I was making my way home, about a 4 hour drive, and set it in google maps. I had forgot to turn off tolls,and started driving. It was a real surprise when I ended up at a ferry to cross Lake Michigan. I dont think they took cars, and it was 11pm anyway so they were closed. Thanks google! Idk how thats supposed to help when the ferry is scheduled for every couple hours. Who would even want that option? It didnt save any time unless you could hop on a ferry as soon as you got there.
I wish there was a quicker toggle for tolls. I frequently do a drive that would take an extra 3-4 hours without tolls, so having to switch it on and off is a pain.
I wish there was a way to set how much I value my time and every extra mile driven, so that it would select only those tolls that are a good trade-off.
In my neck of the woods, the toll road is often much smoother. Compared to the overall costs of owning a car, road tolls in the US are almost nothing, unless you’re racking them up every day.

Is this some red state thing I’m not familiar with? Why do the roads have tolls?

There’s been plenty of times I’ve chosen an extra five minutes to take mostly interstate with tolls over surface streets: it’s vastly safer.
Except when it’s not, and there’s suddenly a miles-long parking lot just sitting there for an hour plus.
Bro it takes for ever to take the slow, winding back roads instead of the toll road
