In reply to the discussion: Trump just sold off a large chunk of America [View all]Atman
(31,464 posts)43. No sane person takes 95 through New York and New Haven.
Besides the $900 in tolls, if you make it through without damage to your car, you're lucky.
To be fair, both New Haven and Providence have done very extensive re-boots of the highway in the last few years. But in the old days, when there were tolls, that stretch from NYC to Providence was a hair-raising experience, not for the faint of heart. We still avoid it all cost, and come up through Brewster, NY and take 84 East. It still sucks, but the final toll is the Tappan Zee, then relatively clear sailing. Especially if you can do it late at night or at 4:00 am.

Um, I think I know where I live. And I agree about the rip-off. My observation stands.

Right, they have their own system. They sell them in vending machines at rest areas.

I wonder why you weren't able to copy and paste & toll roads are highway robbery.
