Please explain the justification for NJ tolls N-S but not E-W on 78 & 80. PA tolls E-W on their tpk, and NY tolls E-W and N-S on their Thruway. IMO the whole system is an inconsistent mess.

When I was a teen in the 70s there was a $0.10 toll on the Southern State pkwy on LI. They raised it to $0.25, and there was a such a shitshow, with people taking local roads to avoid it, that they got rid of the tolls entirely. And the world kept turning!
