The real issue is the tolls on the turnpike vs the free travel on surface routes. Raising the speed limit to 70 may help a little, but the fact is that already, trucks roll on the turnpike routinely at 75 mph.

It is about effing time!

That road is made for higher speeds and should have been that way already. 70mph is what I like to set my cruise on that pike anyway. Now I could be legal doing it.

Got pulled over twice within 16 miles on that turnpike, once, on the way to the March for Life, 1993....

I already don’t use the turnpike where there are roughly parallel roads that are “free”. Maybe if they stopped charging a toll?

If it’s anything like the Pa. Turnpike, going 70 could be dangerous - awfully hard to avoid the potholes.

PIgs are flying out my window!

Reading the headline, I thought that they would be lowering it in order to increase revenues.
