How carriers move through Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) links Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, and the Turnpike now uses all-electronic tolling. I-80 crosses the north, I-81 runs through Scranton, Harrisburg and Chambersburg, and I-78 connects Allentown and Harrisburg. I-79 runs from Erie to Pittsburgh, I-95 serves Philadelphia, and I-476 heads north to Scranton.
Seasons and weather
Erie gets heavy lake-effect snow, and winter storms affect the mountains along I-80 and I-81. Fall is busy as Pennsylvania snowbirds head to Florida.
Why people ship cars in Pennsylvania

Narrow rowhouse streets often mean meeting at a nearby wide road or lot.
