farmer52 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 They raised the speed limit to 70mph to get more trucks on the turnpike and off the state routes. Now they raise the tolls. Makes sense to me.

farmer52 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 i run across 2 and 20 or 6. i dont care to go 70mph and i dont want to eat junk food.I set my cruise at 65mph and pass most of the trucks. The only vehicles I do not pass are the trucks going 80mph+ and most four wheelers. The only way to get more truck traffic on the turnpike (in my opinion) is to lower the tolls. When the speed limit was 65mph, the highway patrol never stopped anyone unless they were going over 80mph. Now they probably don't stop anyone unless they are going over 85mph. And the food on both the OH and PA turnpikes is "worthless". Bring back the old HoJos sit down restaurants that used to be on the PA turnpike.
