I use the PA turnpike every day to and from work. I always pay cash and go through the cash lanes. The other day, I receive a bill for $55 in the mail saying that I went through an EZ-Pass lane and did not pay the toll. They sent a picture of the back of my car showing just the very rear and the license plate. I went ahead and reviewed the notice and it showed the lane that I went through on toll booth. I called the turnpike and spoke to the person at the very location that I was accused of not paying the toll. I asked him whether this lane was a cash lane or an EZ-Pass lane. He said it was a cash lane unless it is shut-down for EZ-pass only when the toll workers go on break. (this "violation" occurred at 8am during rush hour)
Cliff Notes:
Went through toll booth paid cash toll of $2
Receive notice of violation for not paying toll for $55 ($30 max PA turnpike toll +$25 admin fee)
Call turnpike and ask if the lane was a cash or toll lane, the turnpike says its always a cash lane unless the workers go on break.
