I'm not really sure if I broke the law tonight, or if I'll find a ticket in the mail. Anyway I was driving home tonight from Jersey to NY. I was on the Jersey Turnpike and I generally take the Goethals to the Verazzano. The traffic reports were talking about heavy heavy traffic on the Goethals all the way through Staten Island. So I was debating taking the George Washington instead, though I'm a little more comfortable on the Verazzano. At the last minute I decided to go with what I know. I took the exit for the Goethals.
I get off and as I make the turn and approach the Toll Plazas all I can see is a HUGE parking lot in front of me. It looked like a complete disaster. Plus traffic was just at a complete standstill.
This was one of those times where the traffic report was dead on. A lot of times I'll find the traffic reports to be off, or not really in touch with the current events. Though by this point I'd wished I'd stayed on the Turnpike and took the GWB. When I finally inched past the EZ Pass lanes at the toll I saw an opening between the cones at the plaza that seperated the Goethals Bridge with the NJ bound toll plaza for the Turnpike. I waited until there was no traffic and then cut through and went back through the toll plaza and went back on the Jersey Turnpike. I lucked out in a way because I pretty much flew the entire way home. There was minor delays at the GWB which made it actually a little calmer of a ride for me.
I'm just curious though if even though I cop didn't pull me over for going between the cones, if I'll actually get a ticket in the mail. Or perhaps I'll luck out that it was a rainy night and I slipped through to the otherside unnoticed.
