Mass Turnpike service stations - trailer unfriendly
Been a couple of years since I have travelled in Massachusetts. Many of the gas stations off the I-90 are positioned at 45 degrees to the flow of traffic. I just barely got the trailer out from one service centre after filling up at the pump. I felt so sorry for an elderly couple pulling a small trailer. As all spots were full, they had to wait on the outside lane for an available slot. When the slot was free, another car would whip in front of them. I'm not sure how long they had to wait before getting gas.
With the pumps lined up with the flow of traffic everyone has an equal chance and gas up in order of arriving.
Just can't understand the logic of the 45 degree angled pumps other than to take up less space and cause frustration when the lanes are busy.
