i drive thru that area on the GSP about 5-6 times a week
There are more dangerous drivers in that area than any other highway
The NJSP should use roving unmarked patrol cars to go after the many agressive drivers that are speeding and doing unsafe lane changes, tailgating, etc.
It takes a bit more effort than hiding behind bushes at the bottom of a hill with a radar gun, but it would better serve the driving public to take these dangerous drivers off the road.
Everyone should get a dashcam
Not a good stretch of highway there but nothing is worse than 287.
thumbs down must be some flatfoot who sits at the bottom of a hill when the speed changes from 55 to 25 hiding with radar
cheap shot but revenue for NJ… typical small town speed trap
go get the dangerous drivers… but that requires effort
