This is 100% correct. NYS T-way accesses the same way. 5ers are classified at 4H due to height and TT's are 4L. Weight does not make a difference. My E-Z pass is set up for 4L so if I'm on a toll road, I have to go thru a manned booth so they can get right toll charge. Guess one could try to go thru reg E-Z pass lane w/ a 5er and 4L pass, but would hate to get caught. Conversely, if my pass was a 4H, could zip right thru E-Z pass lane w/ 5er and manned booth w/o 5er
