It was empty, and I was thinking about the rainstorm that was chasing me. Do they give out tickets for excessive speed through a Fast Lane toll both? Whoopsie.

Default Speedlimit 10 MPH........ tripple it and you could loose your license.

I'd call now before they find you.......
























< looks around >


















NEXT time slow down a bit.

When you go through, the "Toll paid" lights are neon/LED and they set off the V1 laser alert.

Your free to go about your business without worrying about the man coming to look for you.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eopsmodulechunk&amp;L=3&amp;L0=Home&amp;L1 =Public+Safety+Agencies&amp;L2=Massachusetts+State +Police&amp;sid=Eeops&amp;b=terminalcontent&amp;f= msp_directory_msp_directory_tip_lines&amp;csid=Eeo ps">How to tu

Default I think NH screwed up with the EZ pass lane setup...

1. They should have made the lanes wider so you could go through at 30-40 mph (like in other states)

2. They need to move the EZ lanes all the way to the left.

Cannot tell you how many times I see people get in the left most cash lane only to realize that it is closed and now must do a quadruple lane change to get to the right cash lanes. I see it happen at least twice a week on my Everett Tpk work commute.

3. They need to make a worker bridge or tunnel. People have no business walking across lanes of highway, toll booth or not. Shame on the state jeopardizing their lives.

Default NJ is even better (only thing I like about the NJ Turnpike). The ones I went through were 55mph!

Not a booth setup but pretty much the left two lanes of the turn pike had the sensors built overhead and scanned as cars went through at highway speeds.

Default lol at close range laser

Due to the loud V1 chirp, I make an obligatory salute with my middle finger, with the hope that some schlub takes my photo as I pass thru at 11 mph lol


how long til the MA Turnpike will use laser at toll booths...


NJ rocks with the sensors above the road a la the power lines for an electric trolley, train, or bus

Default Everett Turnpike in NH. I called Fast Lane, and they said call back in a few days.

Nothing reported yet.

I am pretty sure they take a picture of every car that goes through. Was this the first time that it has gone off?

Default Oh, in NH. Everytime I go through one of the NH EZ-Pass/Fast Lane lanes, my laser goes off

even when going slow.
