I know someone here in NJ who informed me that she can't read signs and drive at the same time. YIKES!!

Not only is it confusing when the EZ Pass lanes aren't consistent, but with so many SUV's and trucks on the road it's often impossible to see far enough ahead to the tollbooths and their respective colors, lights, signage when you drive a sedan. You have to wait till the large vehicles in front of you move aside to see what lane has what features. I just heard on TV that 55% of the vehicles on the road are SUV's -- that makes us sedan drivers a minority.

I like the practice they have started on the Garden State Parkway of painting the booth numbers or EZ PASS ONLY LANE right on the pavement about 1/4 mile before the toll plaza. This helps us sedan drivers especially where the geniuses put the toll plaza on a curve in the road instead of a straightaway.
