You're only looking at solutions from a >taxation to limit use perspective.
May I raise you a >privately managed roads or private-public-partnerships (read: company buys median, putts a toll road on it to ease congestion).
The reason you have congestion is becauses roads are reminescent of commons - you're giving people a fuckload of space to occupy without any felt constraints. This part of the reasons that lead to urban sprawl.
If you're worrying so much about tourism taking a hit from this I'd like to remind you that Flo' has its share of toll roads at the moment. Not only that, but if the industry really gave that much of a shit about getting tourists to them I'm pretty sure they're able to find creative ways to do so... Hell even from a lefty perspective you could probably subsidize tourist transport in Fl. Though I wouldn't advise you try that out.
Trying to force people into public transport won't get you anywhere when you've got a public road infrastructure that doesn't take a hit on its users wallet (disregarding taxation, because it's a hidden cost).
