They should implement a congestion toll on all cars entering the horseshoe, and (better yet) if the objective was truly just to reduce traffic, apply the toll only during the busy hours. There is a large chunk of the date the horseshoe is clear.
Sadly the mechanism is there - if you have the 1st generation FasTrak transponder that beeps, drive the horseshoe and tell me what you hear.
