The Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls have become totally ridiculous and very expensive,, A trip from Somerset, PA to York, PA..a couple hundred miles now cost almost 20.00 one way...

Made a trip from Somerset PA. area to the Ohio turnpike line this week, cost was $8.60 then you travel some 32 miles for ‘FREE’ lol to get on the OH. turnpike, which is also ridiculous tolls, on the return trip to PA. you pay a fee for that so called ‘FREE’ trip of $6.80 for 32 miles...they make up for the so called free ride on your ride to Ohio...

Then you get on turnpike and pay another $8.60 to get to Somerset area...actually get off at Donegal area... all in all a round trip is getting to cost almost $35.00 to go see hubby Doctor at Cleveland Clinic. a trip of 220 miles one way...

I travel often from PA. to Atlanta GA. on Interstates...the only state I pay a toll is in West Virginia..$2.40 but it will go up ridiculous too. I feel certain after reading this article...

THANK YOU HUSSEIN OBAMA FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA

Your story sounds like mine in Florida. I wanted to travel down state and across state. We must have gone through five to seven toll booths in each direction.

Another thing folks may not think about, is that this sets up a perfect spot to stop traffic any time they like. For some reason, I just don’t like giving government that kind of control.

It wreaks of total control.

hey, at least those PA turnpike tolls are funding the reconstruction of the damage caused by the Great Johnstown flood!

By law there must be a "free" stretch of highway between states,including an exit, and there is at every state line. Under the Constitution, Article I Section 9 says no state may charge a "tax or duty" for crossing its state lines.
