That said, there are a few stretches of highway on the east coast where you can pay to drive (separately barricaded multiple HOV express lanes). These stretches of interstate are well constructed and have the best chance of triple digit speed limits if it's ever going to happen. A pay to "commute faster" type system is the only way IMO. Revenue would be tremendous but they already have commuters paying to drive the speed limit.
You should see the express lanes in Miami. Barricades = plastic sticks and people routinely cross through / over them. Plus when there is an accident in an express lane, such as when some douchebag skid on a wet road from the non-express lanes through the sticks and into me a few years back, the Express lanes really clog up. Hopefully they are better implemented elsewhere.
