That panorama is Ike so many I traveled in Pennsylvania during the 50's and even a bit into the 60's. Good memories, indeed.

I use it often. also rt 30. I find the PA. TPK. to be the most boring ride in the country. I'd rather drive miles of Nebraska's cornfields. Plus the pike is way to expensive now.

Only takes a few trips to get to that point on that road.

Across PA from Oh to NJ is $95; if you have an EZpass it's ~$47.

I prefer to take I-80 to get across PA. Turnpike is too narrow, windy, steep grades and finally too expensive. Used to cross I-80 two round trips a year back when the kids were in grade school/high school to visit family in New York Metro area. Maybe all of the never ending road reconstruction kept it from being boring.

BTW, $95 for a POS "highway", I don't think so. I think it's something like 1/2 that for the Ohio State Turnpike but they have modernized that so it's 3 lanes wide from the PA border to Toledo and the road surface is in great shape. Last time I was on the PA turnpike was about 10 years ago and it seemed like I remembered it from 50+ years ago except the tolls were much lower. I don't think we're getting what we are paying for.

That's if you have a PA. EZ pass. I don't believe the discount is the same for out of state EZ pass. I know this to be true for my old commercial EZ pass. I got rid of it in 2017. Things may have changed.

It's the same across states with agreements between them.

Scroll down to the paragraph

Do I get a discount for using an E-ZPass?

We used US 22 from Steubenville, Ohio to Pittsburgh quite often in the last half of the 20th century and all across Ohio during that same time.
It was usually nice driving and NOT boring. My wife and I have always had problems on trips. She wants to go the fastest way with the fewest stops.
My choice was usually non interstate roads that went through small towns and scenic areas. Now I onlydrive in the daytime in our small town and she usually stays in a 25 mile radius and one trip a day so now the driver, a son or daughter, usually have some input in routing.
