I'm curious, what is a turn-pike?

It's how we geolocate in NJ. "Oh you live in Jersey too? What exit?"

A turn-pike is usually a toll road, a road that you can use only if you pay. There are often slower or less convenient roads running mostly in parallel which are free.

Thanks, yeah I know what a toll road is but hadn't heard the term turn-pike.
