>a stupid bridge that has had every social engineering plot applied to it to no avail (HOV lanes with pay-to-use transponders being the latest fashion and cops to enforce the rules slowing everyone else down).
Too bad just paying poor people not to use the bridge isn't politically correct.
It would be a heck of a lot more efficient than combining a bunch of disincentives that affect the lower classes.

Why does nobody ever try free public transportation? Paying the poor brings a lot of practical issues, but at a minimum you can make them not pay for taking the long route.
And yet, here we are, paying it through the nose by losing time in transit, and contemplating wether it would be a moral thing to pay poor people into taking a longer route.
