New York Thruway Toll Scheme Faces Evasion Break
Motorists figure a loophole to dodge higher tolls by using 20 mile free travel rules and on off on entries. The plan allows permit holders to travel toll free for 20 miles then pay half toll for the rest, prompting schemes to exit and reenter for free segments along Catskill-Selkirk Canajoharie-Herkimer and Batavia-Depew routes. Officials say they will not intervene, expecting the novelty to wear off and drivers to pay eventual charges.
