[quote name='Mack505' post='142570' date='Aug 22 2007, 08:34 ']Sorry, but I am none of the above and have a blue tag. I've also randomly seen orange and yellow, and my other one is white. We have a mix of blue and white on the ambulances at work.
I still don't think the color means anything.[/quote]
I know it's off topic, but just to mention something. The days of Fast Lane like you have in Mass., EZ Pass (in about a dozen states) and the like may be numbered. Earlier this year, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (six busy crossings including the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln & Holland Tunnels) announced they are planning to institute cashless tolls within a couple of years. The way it will work is pics will be taken of the license plates, ownership will be determined and bills will be sent out. Initially this will be just for those without EZPass. They figure that a 90% collection rate and the relatively smaller administrative costs will be a lot cheaper than all those toll collectors. It will also ease the massive backups, someimes an hour at each crossing.
