Massachusetts Turnpike logo. The original logo depicted Paul Revere on horseback with the words "Massachusetts Turnpike" in a circle around him. Sometime in the late 1950's, the logo was changed to a Pilgrim hat and Indian arrow, commemorating the arrival of the Pilgrims in 1620. The logo was later streamlined to a simple black Pilgrim hat during the late 1990s.The Massachusetts Turnpike is the 138-mile long stretch of Interstate 90, which spans Massachusetts from West Stockbridge on the New York border to Logan International Airport in East Boston, and on to Route 1A. The Massachusetts Turnpike is generally known as the "Mass Pike."
1 Tolls
The Mass Pike is a toll road; it costs $5.60 to travel from Exit 6 in Chicopee to Logan Airport. No toll is charged for travel between Chicopee and the New York border. Tolls are collected at toll plazas on the offramps, between Chicopee and Route 128; beyond Route 128, the toll plazas are on the road proper. Motorists can opt to deposit exact change into baskets, obtain change from a toll booth operator, or utilize the Fast Lane electronic toll collection system, whereby motorists install transponders on their car windshields and use special lanes at the toll plazas that recognize the transponders and automatically withdraw the toll amount from the motorist's account.
The return trip from Logan Airport costs $3 more, since the Ted Williams Tunnel has a toll in the Westbound direction.
2 Exits
Massachusetts uses a system of sequential numbering for the exits on the Pike. Since the exits were numbered, more have been added, leading to situations like Exit 11, which is a minor state route, and 11A, which is a major Interstate 10 miles away!
Also, near Boston, some of the "exits" are actually onramps and are not signed as exits, so there is no "Exit 21" signed.
