Summary: E-Z Pass is a risk to anyone who uses it.It does not tell you if it detected the transponder.
Yes, it does. You have to wait until the stoplight turns green, which indicates that the transponder has been detected.
Not quite accurate. This is how some E-ZPass booths work. Here in NJ, I understand that if you are detected it says "EZPASS PAID" or some such, and if you are not detected it just says "GO." They don't want people slamming on their brakes with another victim following closely behind. When one drives on roads outside his own normal driving area there is no way to know how the system will react, if it reacts at all.

lemme ask yo...
if you owned a business that everyone had to use....i.e. the tolls.
would you put a system in place to make it easier? of course
would you give em a discount? maybe.
would you be totally transparent and let them know when there was a problem, or would you take advantage of the situation and charge the $25 for screwing up, and blame them? hey... free money is free money....
