I've driven the turnpike from beginning to end, primarily from Harrisburg area to the eastern part of the state, but I make my way out towards the west end on occasion as well. Here's what I would recommend:
1) Download Waze. VERY useful app and while you have to be the first one to report the police sometimes, it also will route you around traffic, show you closed roads, etc.
2) MPH allocations, 55->70, 65->77, 70->80-82. The police officers don't really get onto you at those speeds unless you're driving like an a$$ or are really tailgating.
3) EZPass will make life very easy and you only go through a gate when you get on the turnpike and when you get off the turnpike.
Good luck at the US Open and drive safe!
