There's a portion at the entrance to the Service Plaza with nothing but grass between the Turnpike and homes.

It's a matter of time before an accident sends a vehicle into someone's bedroom.
Seriously, I would doubt a vehicle could leave the Turnpike and drive into someone's home. I understand your concern with the noise created by the Turnpike but feel it was/is the developer's responsibility to build some sort of barrier to prevent as much noise as possible. I also feel it was the homeowner's responsibility to have realized where they where moving to
and the pros and cons of the location. The developer should do what they can to prevent as much noise as is possible if for no other reason but DOING THE RIGHT THING. The developer knew when the homes were built of the noise problem and should have addressed it at that time. Now the residents have to go hat in hand to the developer to correct the problem.
