Reply to comment by Middle_Aged_Mayhem in Pennsylvania Turnpike truck and trailer toll by plate? by [deleted]

Well that’s concerning. I and several others paid cash when we drove through the toll booths

How long ago was this?

Yes, I'm pretty sure they went cashless back in 2020 and never went back to it.

Then who was I paying cash to? Was I being scammed? I wouldn’t have been able to get through the toll booth otherwise

I think you were in Ohio where there are $3 tolls. We don’t have them, you would have remembered paying $40.

That sounds correct. I think my confusion lies around the transition from OH to PA turnpike

CrazyOkie t1_ixs2jh0 wrote

yeah, exactly this. And, we don't have anything to prevent you from driving right through the toll booth

Why couldn't you just drive through? Pa tollbooths don't have anything keeping you from driving right through. They just have lights telling you to stop or go.

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of the Ohio toll stations? You do have to stop there and pay cash.

I saw cars lined up to pay cash on my way back from New Jersey on 276 at the “start” of the PA turnpike just yesterday.

Must have been the Jersey side because Pa is all cashless. https://www.paturnpike.com/all-electronic-tolling

Nope. Was on the PA side. Just after you get over the Delaware bridge heading westbound.

I just went through that toll on Saturday. No people in the booths. No toll collection at all.

I don’t know what to tell ya. This was just yesterday. There was two lanes of 20 or so cars lined up to pay the toll. I was in the ez-pass lane that goes fast and around and saw all these cars lined up paying cash.

I went through there too, they sometimes use that pull off for weight checks on trucks but they definitely no longer take cash at those booths. No one was in line when I passed through yesterday morning.

If you are talking about a bridge, that’s different.
