To the OP:
Don’t feel bad. I just got a letter in the mail from Pennsylvania with a nice picture of the back of my car. Happened to me in July.
I’m going east…Virginia up to to Erie. I’ve made this trip a 100 times. Problem this time is they moved the Cranberry toll booth out onto the turnpike and its not clearly marked. I typically pick up my ticket in Breezewood and exit at Cranberry to go north on 79. Pay a $5 toll for using the turnpike.
Now I got a $60 ticket. My Camry has GPS but I don’t rely on it when I’m approaching Cranberry…way to much construction all the time it seems and GPS can send me on a wild goose chase. So I got all my radar active when I’m approaching Cranberry. The turnpike is a mess and not clearly marked. No rumble strips. No signs “Approaching Toll Booth in 2000 feet” like in Breezewood.
I’m not a local so how would I know something changed unless you give me decent warning. It’s not like I’m going to run the toll booths for a $5 toll.
Worst thing is the car is in my wife’s name…so she got the ticket even though I was driving. She was…ummm…displeased.
