    many decades ago, i had to go to Bristol, PA. to the BJ's DC center off Airport rd.>???

    i had to go thru a toll plaza (might have been off the NJTP, i cannot fully recall), then i had to take the exit the opposite direction for where i had to go.

    this all involved a u-turn, that I DO recall, and i was told by the toll attendant, to use the far right lane, and just go ahead, toll paid, once.

    The pa 100 mill unpaid issue isnt that they arent sending the tolls, its that people just arent paying... and at their prices, im not sure i fully blame anyone

    Just imagine if we could all come together in solidarity against some of the stupid rules that are imposed on us. We're getting a slight example if what will happen when enough people collectively say "screw that" to certain things. The dispassionate, power hungry rule makers become powerless. There's not much they can do at that point

    I hear they're going to continue rising until 2050. I guarantee US 22 will be deteriorated well before then from people running that instead of I76. There goes my quiet scenic turnpike bypass

    Its called agorism, i very much approve. Requires very little if any organisation, demonstration, just enough people to individually ignore the bs that they cant possibly enforce on
     
    Badmon Thanks this.

    My method is to just not go to the bottom side of pa, near 80 is prettier anyway

    Yup 30 years at 5-6% crooks at work & don't care. It's highway robbery sometimes because of time constraints I have to run it. I argue with my wife about using it.
