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

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.

You just go along with narrative that is over 20 years old and has absolutely nothing to do with day to day traffic now where most participants simply turn to GPS to figure the least congested route at the particular time.

Get it?

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.
