You're talking about the Delaware Turnpike, so don't blame PA for the tolls on I-95.

Their major toll road is the Pennsylvania Turnpike which mainly consists of I-76.

However, PA is planning to convert its entire run of I-80 to a toll road.




But, that is how it is in the northeast. In NY, half of 87 and most of 90 are toll roads [along with a couple of short spurs, the collection of highways is called the NY Thruway]. In NJ part of the toll road NJ Turnpike is 95 [until 95 abruptly ends around Allentown, NJ].

btw, The spur of 95 that goes to Philly seem an afterthought since it doesn't directly connect to 95 in Jersey. I think it's called "95" just to keep PA happy since it easier to bypass Philly entirely on the run from ME to FL.

But, it isn't limited to the Northeast. In far-off Gigi/Windsock land, I think all of I-80/90 is a toll road called the Ohio Turnpike, but I haven't been through there since the 80s, so my memory could be off and/or the facts could have changed.
