Because any moron with 1/2 a brain would stop and realize they were creating a traffic jam or would create one and stop. But they chose to do it AGAIN too all the time FULL well knowing. They cost people thousands of dollars in wasted fuel not to mention the inconvenience of being late for work.

Bruce the turnpike auth. should be abolished as was the original plan years ago. Instead now they put hundreds of thousands of dollars into STUPID stuff like planting bulbs in medians, wildflowers, and lets not forget the MILLIONS of $$$ they donate to ridiculous causes. All in the effort to keep themselves viewed as necessary. Hey let's replace trucks every two years with 50k miles on them. Lets buy $600,000 vactor trucks to suck out the catch basins once a year when it could be done by a private contractor as most towns already do. Let's run the plows in the winter scraping wet pavement for absolutely nothing.

Let's allow a film company to film at the height of rush hour. Hey why not? The film directors knew where the shoot was and no-one said anything? Then they go do it again

I do boycott them enough right now trust me. Ripoff. How much money you think they save by adding fastlane which was paid for by the transponder sales at $36 each. How many toll collectors you heard about being laid off when 3 booths were closed at all the major toll sites.
