Instead you get a death-defying hellride

My favorite new feature is the part in the mountains to where they now require trucks to stay in the left lane. Passing a truck on the right on a steep, curvy mountain road? What could go wrong? We don't have to use the turnpike to get to our house in Warren, but we did take to see our son when he was in Erie for 5 years. I don't miss that drive at all, especially in the Winter. When we finally transition to PA year round, we'll never have to even remotely consider the turnpike again.

Agree, the route 66 express lanes are absolutely ridiculous....

The best feature is it only gives you price per leg

I still can't believe that money grab passed. The irony is that COVID hit
