Thanks Craig. Yes I have only used mine in NortheastNC. I resisted for a longtime but then RI put 4.00 tolls each way on Newport-Pell bridge but only .83 each way for residents with EZ Pass. Also nice for getting across Maine border in summer. Bypasses backup in toll lanes with separate no

Tolls are only a buck or two for cars. Bring plenty of change; some of the booths are exact change only, no attendants. On Fri, Jul 18, 2014 at 3:53 PM, Craig via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: I was looking on Google Maps today for the route from Los Alamos to Elkhart and noticed

We have Interstates and Turnpikes - the later require lots of quarters, dimes, and nickels. I-40 from NM through the TX panhandle is free. I-44 from OKC to Tulsa to the N.E. is the Turner Turnpike, and will cost about $4.00. I-44 is free through Tulsa, then becomes the Will Rogers Turnpike on the
