Tolls in NJ
 

Going from RI to Washington DC.<BR>How many tolls can I expect in NJ?<BR>I have heard there are one every 50 ft lol

On the Garden State Pkwy, the tolls are every 50 ft. on the Turnpike, you get a ticket and pay the total once when you get off at the Delaware Memorial Bridge. If you take the GW, you will most likely head right for the turnpike, if you take the Tappan Zee, you'll take the parkway for a while until they cross and then switch to the turnpike.

the previous post is very accurate...there is a toll every 50 feet in delaware however.

That's OK, Dennis, Delaware is only 100 feet wide anyway :)<BR><BR>The tolls from NYC to DC ran me about $25 round trip(some tolls like the George washington Bridge are in one direction only) using I-95 and the NJ Turnpike all the way. I think the turnpike maximum is $4.50 and you only pay once(in each direction that is) not several times along the way as with the Garden State Parkway.<BR><BR>From NYC to RI (depending on exact route) there aren't many tolls -- a short strip of I-95 near the NY/CT border has a $1 toll eastbound only, for example

Avoid the Garden State Parkway unless you have EZ Pass and can breeze thru the tolls.<BR>I would suggest you leave RI early in the morning, so that you arrive in the DC area before the evening commuter rush, which is a mess!

Just for the sake of accuracy: There are four 35-cent tolls on the GS Parkway stretch that''s about 50 miles long.

Wow, is this one loaded with bad information!<BR><BR>Yes, the Garden State Parkway had plenty of tolls, not exactly every 50 feet but it seems that way. But you shouldn't take this road anyway, which runs along the east coast of NJ. You'll be taking the NJ Turnpike. You'll pick up a ticket when you enter and pay one time, when you exit. Don't know what the cost is these days but there's probably a website that'll let you know.

The parkway is 173 miles long from Northern NJ to the tip Cape May. There is a toll just about every county, about 10 tolls. Not every 50 ft.

There are no more trolls in New Jersey than there are on this site.

Jim, technically you're correct. But the post asks about the possible GS Pkway tolls when driving to DC. It's four, because no one is going the rest of the way to Cape May.

You will take the GS Parkway until the "woodbridge" exchange with the Turnpike, at which point you get a "ticket" for the trip on the Turnpike.<BR><BR>I grew up in NJ and last week we made a trip from Boston to Washington, DC. For the 30 years that I have been driving people have been complaining about the frequent tolls on the northern part of the GS Parkway. It does seem like they are every 50 feet, and the 35cents is somehow more annoying than 25 or even 50 cents.<BR><BR>After you pay the amount on the Turnpike ticket you have to pay a few million dollars to go over the bridge in Delaware.<BR><BR>But Massachusetts just raised Turnpike tolls - I paid a dollar to go about 5 miles the other day.
