Really? You need some kinda red carpet rolled out for ya? Pee before you cross the state line or wait for the next gas station, it'll be max another 10 minutes.

It's not a toll road, you can get off any exit and find a gas station of fast food place.

Yeah, putting up "welcome" centers at the borders would be sort of hypocritical.

Pee before you get here, pay your tolls, and drive on through.

I think toll plazas are the most appropriate "Welcome to New Jersey" gesture.

Default No Welcome centers

That's my biggest pet peeve when traveling between NC and NJ. Every state along the way has a welcome center just as soon as you enter the state where you can get free maps, travel info, take a leak. I80 has one welcome center 10-20 miles after you enter NJ. I 78 has none just a rest area with no bathrooms in Bloomsbury.

Somebody did mention the weigh station on 78 and they are open when the heavy truck traffic is there. Big money maker for NJ.(ask the truckers)

You can get all that information at all rest stops along the NJTPK(I95). 95 is also the most common route that out of staters take through NJ. Rts 80 and 78 are not only relatively short distances through NJ, they pass through some heavily populated areas and have exits every few miles.

NJ Is not like Ohio/PA where you see nothing but farmland for 100 miles at a time.
