Enactment of Toll Roads

Introduction

High rates of speed have been a growing concern within Sandy Shores. Enacting 2 toll roads will help to slow down citizens driving through Sandy Shores, therefore keeping the residents and pedestrians safer, as well as contributing to the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office’s funds to support the growth of the department and, as a consequence, a safer Blaine County.

Constitutional Justification

As per the Constitution, the Blaine County Mayor is responsible for the creation of Blaine County legislation and services, and the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for the County’s public services.

Details

Two toll booths will be installed in Sandy Shores: One on East Joshua Road and one on Panorama Drive. These toll booths will be operated by members of the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office. When a vehicle or bicycle approaches the toll booth, they will come to a full stop and the driver will be charged with a $25.00 fee in order to pass. Should a citizen want easier entry, they will be allowed to purchase a Sandy Skip, which costs $500.00 and gains them quick passage through either toll road for 1 month.

Should a citizen pass through the toll road without paying while it is being actively operated, and the citizen has been identified, they will incur a $25 fine to be paid at a later time. Each recurring time that the citizen passes without paying will incur another $25.

If a citizen drives through a toll road but the toll booth is not currently being operated, no toll will be applied for that passing.

Members of the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office, the Los Santos Police Department, and the Emergency Medical Services are exempt from all tolls.

Implementation

Timeline for Enactment: Effective Immediately.

Conclusion

With the operation of these toll roads, Sandy Shores will become a safer place to live and visit while also helping to raise funds for a more well-equipped and productive Sheriff’s Office.
