If they managed to fix that fucking hell hole of an exit and merge on to 168, things would be smooth sailing. There are some days I'd rather drive past it to Exit 2 and get home from there.

The absolute catastrophe of traffic that occurs with people and trucks needing to get off at exit 3 then take local roads to get to Philly needs to be addressed.

Just wanting some beach shops, an arcade, ferris wheel, go-karts, etc. Closer and cheaper than Wildwood, not sure if there's a noticeable difference for that brief of a visit by garbageeater
AC seems like a place scallywags would be created

Last week they were filming and I was able to get right up by the fence with barbed wire but it seemed like they were just doing a few test runs

Not congestion pricing. It doesn't scale with real time congestion. NYC's program will be the first in the country.
You can't conclude people will pay whatever it takes to ride the road based on pathetically low tolls relative to the full social cost of driving. CP is another policy with lots of research behind it. It works.
It negates widening.
I propose alternatives in the petition.

Are they going to take out existing homes to do this because I don’t see how they won’t have to in some spots.

We do have on peak and off peak pricing right now which is congestion pricing. Except we aren’t sensitive to it. We will pay what ever it take to ride the road. Congestion pricing in NYC I believe will be the same traffic won’t improve. We need to build alternatives.

The tolls we have don't reduce congestion. Only congestion pricing reduces congestion by reducing driving. We don't have CP because it's politically toxic. See: NJ politicians reacting to NYC doing CP.
If you want congestion pricing instead of widening the road, I'm with you. It doesn't justify widening though. CP replaces widening, in fact.

Yes but the NJTP is a toll road so traffic can be controlled by increasing tolls vs “freeways”

The research on induced demand includes interstates like the NJ Turnpike.

No, just water. Internet says if you want to test for Lyme, put in a baggie with a moistened paper towel. If tick dries out, you can't test. Also if tick has chemicals on it, they can't test. Fwiw, this tick was DOA.

Except very few are moving that far south to commute to NYC or N-NJ.

I've passed the place more times than I can count in the dead of night after work. It used to be a psych ward and may one day become apartments (or so I'm told).
Assuming that's true, just..
