CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Ohio Turnpike is trying to work out bugs in its new E-ZPass electronic toll payment system.
The first day of the voluntary system Thursday had big traffic backups as the turnpike tried to figure how many lanes should be devoted to E-ZPass users and drivers paying cash. Some drivers caused delays when they got in the wrong payment lane.
Another complication was a toll increase for those paying cash.
For part of Thursday morning's rush hour, at least one busy interchange tried to alleviate the congestion by allowing both cash and E-ZPass customers to use lanes that had been set aside for the electronic tolls.
About 120,000 passenger vehicles use the turnpike on an average weekday.
