Turnpike toll road payment method? -

uuuhhh.. dont call me stupid or anything, i ve lived in oregon my whole life where theres no such thing as a toll road. anyway, i have no idea how these things work.do i need to pay with cash? or can i pay with debit?plus 1 internets for the first helpful answer, thanks

Tolls are one of the few things I don t use my credit card for. Use cash or EZ Pass, otherwise you re going to be waiting forever to sign a receipt and simultaneously pissing off everyone waiting behind you.

It is very simple, when you get on the turnpike PA76 You will receive a ticket. On the ticket will be a whole bunch of different exit numbers and locations with a dollar amount beside them. When you get off at which ever exit you pay the amount that is marked for the exit to the cashier at the toll booth. If you are traveling long distances there are several rest stops, some have food and gas and others just have bathrooms and a place to stretch. You don t have to pay to get off at any of these stops. Make sure that you dont loose your ticket because if you do you will pay the maximum amount for the exit witch is sort of expensive. Last time I checked it costs under 15 dollars to cross the entire state so it isn t terribly expensive.

There are two ways to pay tolls.One is with cash.The other is with EZ Pass. You set up an account with one of the various state agencies which you replenish with either a credit or debit card or sending a check. Each state from Virginia north and Illinois east that has toll roads has an agency that issues an EZ Pass. Since this is in the Philly section, the PA Turnpike, the NJ Turnpike, and DelDot all issue their own EZ Pass which you can use anywhere they accept EZ Pass.And PS. There is at least one toll road in Oregon, because the Hood River Bridge has a toll.

you don t use a debit or credit card. you can either pay with cash or in some places you can set up an account in the new york area it is called E Z Pass then you get a thing to put on your windshiel and every time you go through it charges your account
