Do you pick cars only or cars, trucks, buses?

I always go 'cars only'. I feel like you stick out more to police on the trucks and buses side with a car.

They’re almost always facing the car side though.

hey fuckface, i like cars only!

Nothing wrong with that, enjoy sitting in traffic while we cruise by you in the CTB lanes :)
That's really the only reason I made my original comment...every time I hit a jam on the cars-only side, the CTB side was free-flowing, every time. So I just started driving there exclusively.
Funny, in any other sub, I would take being called fuckface as having the intention to insult - but in New Jersey, that's just how we talk.

This is not true at all. When I moved to US I listened to my uncle who swore by this, and quickly learned this is not true.
Same thing goes for cops pulling people over. Local on GSP and Trucks and Cars on TP won't keep you safe from cops.

Exactly! They can't roll with the pros.

Same for GSP express lanes

I was taught by my parents to never take the express just in case there's an accident and a lane gets shut down

I don't drive on the Turnpike very often, but I get anxiety when I'm behind trucks. That's also why I stay in the left lane most of the time.

Trucks. Would rather drive with the pros than Karen in her $100k SUV dragging ass in the left lane while texting

Whatever Google tells me. I have no will of my own.

Trucks aren’t always pros these days. Would rather an accident with a car than a truck.

One time Waze told me to take cars only.... never again.

I wish that dump trucks had their own lanes. Crap always flying off of them and from the tires.

Cars during the week.
Cars, trucks, and busses on the weekend.
I thought this was common NJ knowledge, no?

Real Heroes take their trucks and buses into the car lanes.

i have an extreme fear of being crushed by a careless truck after it almost happened to my family a few years ago... so i try to stay as far away from them as possible

Yes depends on time of day and direction.

Whichever one Waze tells me to take.

CTB - usually less AH's, not guaranteed.
Wish the sign would say cars must pass trucks while in left lane or get in car only.

I used to commute from NJTPK Exit 14B to Exit 13. Heading south during rush hour, truck lanes were almost always moving smoother than the car lanes.

Take Route 1 and avoid the tolls. Plus you can stop at the Wawas and QuickCheks.
