Beware of police revenue’ing on that route.  Speed limit is a serious number in those parts.  (they need the money)

If anyone else is looking for avoid the turnpike and take a less frustrating route here's the one I use when I head up there... I've shared this with a few others that agree it's a better option.

After Bedford you'll take I-99 North and follow that toward Altoona.... before reaching Altoona you'll take US22 West towards Ebensburg.... US22 will take you clear to Monroeville where you'll get on the Parkway to head into Pittsburgh.
