Do you not travel out of NJ much? The author has every right to be pissed. Take a ride down to florida, explain why I pay damn near a dozen tolls from here to Delaware and then after that I can drive 800+ miles without seeing a single god damned toll. NJ is a joke.

Yes, I travel a lot out of NJ, the author is still a whiney little sissy. He/she should stay out if he/she hates it so much. :obscene-sexualvlick:

Sounds like that's what the author is doing. And in the process, reminding everyone else not to bother visiting here either.

Just another downfall of a nanny state with huge corrupt government programs. They need to fund them somehow. Thank the libs for that.

LOL, NJ roads are far better than most others that I have traveled. Ohio had such crappy roads, PA is not bad. NY is eh. Hate to say it, but let tourists pay NJ tolls. The roads are busy enough with out of state drivers.

A friend visiting from Texas made the observation that you can't leave NJ without paying . Virtually every road, bridge etc leaving the state has a toll!

Yet the Highways are clogged every weekend, and Great Adventure, Seadise, Keansburg, Wildwood, and Cape May are packed all summer.

You just gotta know where to go. 287 if you're going north. Route 1 to 95 if you're going to PA.

 

Also - There are several other "tourist" areas that have tolls. Anyone ever take the B-line in Orlando or the 407ETR in Toronto?

You are still screwed if you are in South Jersey and going west or south. I average $65/month just moving around Jersey and Philly. When I was working and traveling the Northeast states, I was hitting $150-175 a month. Now when I drive from Jersey to California I feel like a free man once I leave the Northeastern area.

I remember driving to Washington state from here while in the service. I recall a phone call with my dad when I got there that after Ohio, the highways where free! He said, that's the real America out there, not here.

that is our corupt politicians putting their hand in your pocket every chance they get..

 

I believe this is where the phrase pick pocketing derrived from.. and they blame it on petty thieves.. we know who the real thieves are..

Thats pretty much as close to the truth as you can get. Such scumbags. Had I known how life for a politician in NJ is, I would have went to school to become one. Then I would have hired all my friends and relatives, served on 5 different boards (some you show up twice a year) added all that to my pension pot, got lots of free healthcare and retired somewhere out of NJ with a sweet house paid for by all the people who I fucked over and ripped off.

they obviously never drove through Florida... like from Miami to Orlando.
