That's true in most states, I think, but generally only includes the vehicle body proper; the rear view mirrors may stick out farther, as also may minor ancillary doodads like latches or marker lights or grab handles (though the non-mirror items are limited to a few extra inches projection).

Ditto, we use what ever lane will accept our EZ Pass or Sun Pass.

We have a dually and use any lane that accepts our toll pass. It is a tight fit but we do fit. Some toll plazas do not even have special lanes for trucks or buses.

Yep, you’re be surprised how much narrower you can make your vehicle just by puckering up!!!! LOL

Before getting our pusher, I towed our fiver with a Volvo 610 tow vehicle and would always look for the farthest right lane at the tolls since this is always the biggest toll lane. However all lanes are big enough you just have to take your time going through and you'll be fine.

I've never really paid much attention to the toll booths with our dually and wide body toyhauler, and never had an issue. I suppose some are narrow, but we've never come across any.

I've travelled the Chesapeake Bay bridge many times, up and down the East coast, Cross-country until no toll roads exist and have never seen a toll booth that wasn't wide enough to handle a dually or RV. Yes, you may want to slow down as the signage tells you to so you won't make a costly mistake. A short research tells me toll lanes can be 9 to 12 feet wide. The latter are the wide truck lanes. Those 9' lanes would be a tight fit for sure. Haven't come across a 9' toll lane yet, but will keep in mind when traveling a new route.

You want a Truck/Bus with an attendant. They are often just a little bit WIDER and where as most vehicles., INCLUDIN THE SEMI that delivered your car to the dealer. have a maximum width of eight feet (making the car narrower) RV's and Flat Bed Tow trucks can be up to 8 1/2 feet wide. So you want the wider lane.
