Yes depends on time of day and direction.

Cars only is for bennies

Exactly! They can't roll with the pros.

Same for GSP express lanes

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

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

Cars during the week.

Cars, trucks, and busses on the weekend.

I thought this was common NJ knowledge, no?

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

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

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.

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

You said the quiet part out loud

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Bennie here—— never cars only!

Whichever one Waze tells me to take.

Express lane is for Bennies

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

They’re almost always facing the car side though.
