Queens, New York Speed Traps

There are cops sitting in unmarked and marked cars on Bell Blvd between 48th avenue and the Long Island Expressway, watching for speeders.

From Grand Central Pkwy to Throgs Neck Bridge speed is 50mph, but most people do 65-70 and the cop is waiting on both sides of the parkway (north and south) you have to be very careful. I find going around 55-58 keeps you under the gun.

There are 3 spots where highway 3 hides.

Right before exit 24 heading westbound on the Grand Central Parkway going up the hill.

Right at exit 24 heading eastbound at the exit ramp facing traffic.

Right at exit 24 extrance ramp going westbound on grand central.

They estimate your speed by "eye" and then pace you. Some use radar. 78 is the magic number they use when they eye and pace.

PBA Cards do not work, highway 3 don’t care…

Cops sit in marked, unmarked and low profile cars on the side of the road by the Terminal information signs, nabbing people just trying to make thier flights or pick ups at the terminals. Port Authority cops seem really tough!

Patrol car sits in trees hidden. The car is just alongside the on-ramp for the Clearview coming off 35th Avenue about 1/4 mile past the 6A (35th AVE)Exit
