We have had a toll plaza on one of our main motorway for 12 years, and now its cashed in the amount of money it was supposed to in less time than the expected; 15 years, and will now be removed - great stuff(?) 
A huge amount of people travel past it every day, so people where like WOW, the day is finally here, no more toll charge  For once the Norwegian drivers have something to be happy about.
...but when something sounds to good to be true...
The cost of removing the toll plaza will be 26mill NOK (325000 euro)
And yeah, the drivers are the one paying... 1-2 more years?
Anyways, some people just had enough and wanted to take matters into their own hands. Enough is enough and a large FB group (where else?) was made, and it wasn't just words... they have started to take it down themselves. Altho, I think its just retarded, because its only gonna cost more in repairs. (yeah, they are gonna repair the damages even tho the toll plaza will be taken down)

I think it's good that they take matters into their own hands, and wish more passive Norwegians would do the same. Our government is so fucking greedy beyond bounds, and we get shit like this all the time.
If i'm not mistaken, up here where i live we have toll posts which has really run it's due, but are still up and taking cash from people.

why remove the whole plaza? just leave it there, but remove all the equipment and barriers and stuff? maybe for 300k eur they will level it all and put new asphalt so cars can pass it with 130km/h? and why wasn't the removal cost incorporated in the first place lol?

well at least you burn 1-2/100 less fuel driving at 100km/h instead at 130 
but yeah, having a 200-400hp car and a max legal speed of 100km/h...

My wife and I completely agree. Why remove it? Just take out the electronic stuff to prevent theft and vandalism, then leave the structure as it is.

having 200hp+ cars ... there is where you can stop.
I find it stupid and utterly moronic for them making cars so powerful for normal use.
Imho cars for civil use should all be capped at 100hp max and all cars should have their motors capped at 140kmh top.

then limos/jeeps/pickups/SUVs that have weight around 2-3 tons won't be able to safely pass other busses/trucks or overtake in general, not that I mind most all those social wannabies
