Cuba, New York Speed Traps

Unmanned construction vehicle with minimal flashing lights is parked on the Westbound lane -State trooper is backed up in front of the vehicle.After ticketing a vehicle, it takes aproximately 5 minutes for the trooper to go West to a crossover at milemarker 87, cross over to the Eastbound lane and cross back over to the Westbound lane at milemarker 90. Within 2 minutes of getting back into position he will then pull over another vehicle and repeat the process. Vehicles will be ticketed even if boxed in by other vehicles and unable to switch lanes. Possibly as many as 6 to 9 per hour.

North and South Shore Roads are located around the entire lake. The speed limit is 30 MPH. There is a zero tolerance for speed over the posted limit. The police are constantly monitoring this area and issuing tickets.

Work zone near Exit 28(milepost 90-94), both East and Westbound is regularly enforced by the State Police. Posted limit is normally 65 MPH but in the work zone it’s 45 MPH. My buddy got bagged for 62 in a 45 in a tractor trailer. This was on Easter Sunday and no workers were working. The fine cost him $455 and he lost his CDL for 6 months, so he got fired from his job too. They told him the work zone will be there until at least the end of 2008!
