I live in PA. The Turnpike is for the rich and famous. Tolls have been rising astronomically over the past decades. Most Pennsylvanians consider the turnpike as the last resort of routes to take east and west. I travel to Pittsburgh frequently from central PA. Toll-free Rt. 22 west is the way to go, with a lot more eating and gasoline choices. I avoid the Turnpike like the Plague.
We used to take the Turnpike all the time. Because of the tolls we rarely travel in PA and I see where a number of truckers are avoiding the turnpike. It will be interesting how this lawsuit turns out.
For those who have to travel to DC or Baltimore I-68 through Maryland is toll-free, better maintained, and much less of a headache to drive.
