Hypocrisy thy name is lost-in-nj
You can't go 5 miles in the state of New Jersey without paying a damn toll. And think about this - New Jersey is probably the only state in the union where all the neighboring states put up tolls on the roads leading out of NJ - perhaps to keep those losers out of the state (that's New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware)

1. Actually the NJ Turnpike is much cheaper per mile than the I-95
stretch thru Delaware!

3. Speaking of HYPOCRITES - what about that damn $5 one on 95 you guys have PLUS
even the back road has a toll.

Geez, at least in DE I can take back roads and not pay the damn toll.

Delawareans don't pay turnpike tolls!

6. Hmmm. $5.00 for one toll over 220 miles. vs.
$10 for 10 miles. Which is more expensive?

4. Yes, but you have to drive much farther in NJ to find anyplace
worth going. :P

I'm sorry, but the tolls and the bass-ackwards roads in NJ are a peeve of mine. :shrug:

9. Only NJ would have an Concert place setup that you MUST pay a toll to get to it
Case in point - the PNC Center in Holmdel NJ. One one way to get to it and that's the Garden State Parkway

:grr:

13. Thems fighten words
:rofl: :rofl:

I NEVER said the tolls in NJ were a GOOD thing...
ugh I hate them to...
but Delaware does have "some" tolls....
and it only takes 5 minutes to drive through so we really aren't burdening
your roads.....
and the other states charging us for leaving NJ.....
They are just jealous......
trying to copy cat the NJ road departments subtle way of robbing everyone in the state...

:silly: :silly:
