Too bad for you if you actually have a breakdown or want to exit safely.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike due to its narrowness of ROW (it was built to be a railroad, no?)
Agree about MA. Allowing people to use the breakdown lanes at certain hours is extremely dangerous, especially for those people coming in on the ramps who are not aware that there's now ZERO merge area.
The PATP is indeed originally designed for a railroad. Which is great because that means it's one of the flattest route across the Appalachians. The biggest problem I have with that road isn't the lack of shoulders, but the lack of rest areas and parking areas. The exits are often 20-30 miles apart, and big trucks often just park on some slightly widened shoulders at night because there's no place for the truckers to rest. A few years ago, a tired bus driver fell asleep and ran his bus at full speed straight into the back of a parked truck at night.
