The absolute catastrophe of traffic that occurs with people and trucks needing to get off at exit 3 then take local roads to get to Philly needs to be addressed.

Indeed. I propose alternatives.

It seems the only way is to connect the turnpike and 42.
What are your alternatives?

The most direct way to reduce congestion is congestion pricing. Tolls that scale in real time to reflect traffic conditions. But that won't happen in NJ soon. Look at the controversy surrounding NYC daring to create the first CP program in the country.
I call for expanding alternatives to driving and better urban planning to make driving less necessary. Public transit, trains, BRT, biking and walking infra, the GCL (expand PATCO tbh), etc.
Remove trucks from the road by linking warehouses to freight rail instead of roads. We already do it in Logan Township. Do it more.
