You are doing it all wrong, if you are going to sneak off the Pa turnpike,... heading east, there is a a maintenance road about 2 miles before the Cranberry interchange. It dumps you out onto Powell rd. Back in my tweens I had hundreds of those little tickets in my glovebox , and I never got caught. It used to save me $1.25, and got me home 10 minutes earlier. Ah the good old days. I would not dare try it today.
I am assuming this all happened in Cranberry? I grew up there. They changed the interchange all around to try to alleviate some of the traffic problems on Route #19, and #228. I thought that the toll booths were past the entrance onto 79. Not sure how this happened, but I will agree that it is somewhat confusing there.
They were supposed to drop the tolls on the Turnpike back in the 60's. They have gotten rediculously expensive instead. Going through there with a trailer with the race car on back used to burn my biscuts. It cost me something like $12.50 to travel the 15 mile stretch back home from Beaver Run.
