    ...I noticed this last week heading out of Chicago going eastbound onto the 80/90, noticed it again at the eastern terminus, and it happened again today, on both ends:

    Seemingly half the EZPass lane readers are malfunctioning or straight up not working. And it's causing backups at the booths.

    Typical Indiana, right? Well anyway, just a heads up for you guys...you may wanna approach the lanes more slowly and watch to see which lanes are still working (look for the gate arms that swing up), and which ones aren't moving, just to help prevent a hiccup that could become a headache.

    They should have suspended tolls for heroic truckers.

    If you look closely they like to use 3"x 4" aluminium gutter downspout. You can hardly get that stuff on the side of your house without bending it. You bet it wouldn't stop me if the mechanism isn't working.

    Thanks for the heads up. With any luck, I’m heading through there in a couple days. I’ve had enough of the northeast.
