New York State Thruway

[kalvado]

I wonder if the statements are now like my one bank statement, where the email arrives a day earlier than the statement is actually available.

Reminds me of a program I use at work where they email a few days in advance: "Your invoice will be ready soon!"

That has to be the most pointless genre of email I've ever received. Why on earth would you bother me with that information when I can't even do anything about it yet? It's like I'm supposed to get all excited and hyped about giving them their money.. but it's such a privilege that I have to hold my breath and wait three days to do it. Or am I supposed to start spreading the word to everyone I know that I can't see my bill yet, but I'm going to be able to see it soon, just in case one of them will be so jealous that they'll offer to pay it off for me?

You should start saving for the bill, obviously.

I am currently amassing a collection of signs for the Thruway. So far, it's a modest count of 76 and plenty more still to come. For example,
 https://www.google.com/maps/@42.6299065,-73.7770135,3a,15y,0.43h,95.84t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1slfR3TJ9-tgXFJVLmUR1zSA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-5.844238592793701%26panoid%3DlfR3TJ9-tgXFJVLmUR1zSA%26yaw%3D0.43255038974254356!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkxNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
This is from the Thruway headquarters in NY and a "yield" is 06-50. (a "stop" sign is 01-87) What I am wondering is if anyone knows if there are documents related to the internal numbers?
Main documents including project plans and Standard Sheets use MUTCD sign numbers and identifiers. I can not locate any.
I emailed the Thruway directly and waiting for a response. (it's approaching a month now and...silence.)

I would do it myself but I had strokes and I do not drive anymore. Otherwise, I would answer my own questions.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

^ I wonder if something like this would be covered under FOIL. It's probably a long shot, but it might be worth emailing thruwayfoil@thruway.ny.gov, as has become my annual tradition to obtain NYSTA gantry AADT counts. They're pretty slow, but I've never not gotten a response + follow up.

Thank you. Cant hurt to try. I appreciate the info.

I think this link to a recent Daily Gazette story about tolling troubles at 25A should be shareable to non-subscribers.

It was still paywalled when I clicked on the link. I would be interested in what the story has to say.

It's paywalled for me too.

Construction is progressing at exit 25 for a new gantry - the ground supports are in.  Looks like it's going to take out this sign structure, though.

I haven't used exit 25A in a while, so I'm not sure what the status is there.

Here's a link that shouldn't be paywalled, including a link to the report itself

Gotta wonder how much of the toll collection issue at 25A is related to travel (supposedly) being free between 25A and 24...
