I stopped this week on the Ohio turnpike as I have many times before and used the free showers at a service plaza and for some reason it really hit me that those showers are a great thing. I hate paying tolls, hate using toll roads but I will give credit to Ohio for having the decency to provide those showers and clean laundry facilities for us drivers. If they can do it, #### it every toll road should provide those. To cross Ohio dollar per mile is cheaper than the NY Thruway (I-90) across NY and they can't provide driver showers there. I mean they don't provide towels, etc how hard could it be for the other toll roads to do this.
Thank you Ohio for having at least some respect for the drivers in this country.![]()

I thought the Ohio showers were great. So are the landry. It was very cheap to wash and dry.

Don't tell everyone........ Next time I try to shower there they will be full.
Personally I love to shower there apart from 1 sink problem.
The hot water is nice n hot in the shower, but the sink sucks, auto on off n mixed already is not a good way to shave.
As I stop there alot I got a mirror and just shave in the shower.
Then of course make sure u don't stop at the old plazza, showers there suck....simplyred1962 Thanks this. -
LOL, my man says the same thing about shaving there. Still it's a good deal.

Ah, the only thing I miss about the Ohio turnpike. Im sure if NY, PA, and other toll states put in showers, there would be a fee. IIRC, the Beckley, WV plaza charge $5?
