The Details
New Jersey Turnpike tolls – pay online
New Jersey has over thirty toll roads. Some of them create a network connecting several major cities. This network is called the New Jersey Turnpike or NJ Turnpike. It is a closed system of toll facilities that use long-distance tickets. You can obtain such a ticket upon entering the toll road and returning while exiting. Besides toll roads, New Jersey Turnpike also includes toll bridges and tunnels.
New Jersey Turnpike – description
The New Jersey Turnpike carries the following highways: Interstate 95, New Jersey 700, New Jersey 495, and Interstate 80. It connects Philadelphia and New York City, crossing almost the entire state and providing access to various localities in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York. It is a 78-mile-long bypass in southeast Philadelphia. The construction of the system took 22 months from 1950 to 1951. The New Jersey Turnpike was opened in November 1951.
Currently, the New Jersey Turnpike is the quickest way to travel long distances between the most important cities in the entire state. It’s the US’s 6th busiest toll road and one of the most heavily traveled highways in the country. The toll system has numerous entry and exit points. It is available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Tolls are collected at all hours. Between exits 6 and 14 the New Jersey Turnpike divides into four roadways. The inner lanes are restricted to cars. The outer lanes are for cars, buses, and trucks.

How to pay New Jersey Turnpike tolls
The New Jersey Turnpike system uses long-distance tickets. They can be purchased by drivers upon entering and surrendered upon exiting at toll gates. If you lose your ticket, you must pay the highest toll fee upon exiting. Since 2000, the easiest way to pay tolls has been the E-ZPass option. E-ZPass is accepted at all toll lanes on the Turnpike. You can also use other approved transponder tags such as E-ZPass NY or E-ZPass NJ. The highest discount can be obtained when you use E-ZPass NJ.
It is also possible to pay tolls by license plate or even cash at some toll plazas during certain hours. If you miss a toll, you will receive a toll violation notice in the mail. If you don’t pay before the due date, you will receive a second notice with additional fees. Missed tolls can be quickly paid online or in person at the customer center.
