E-ZPass toll lanes at entrance to Lincoln Tunnel
Speed Limit is 5 MPH. Other E-ZPass tolls throughout state are posted in small print at 15 MPH. Most drivers develop pattern of slowwing to 20-30 MPH. This toll, is on a downhill slope coming off a steep ramp. Saw no speed limit posted before toll, and can only assume it was posted at the toll booth. In middle of day, (1/14/03) when traffic was light, multiple police cars and officers were in place, stopping most of the cars going through. At 23 MPH, 18mph above the 5 MPH speed limit, the fine is $98, the third level of speeding out of five. Not sure yet what that involves in points and insurance surcharges. Situation creates danger as nervous and annoyed drivers leave speed trap area and enter long and narrow tunnel with 2-way traffic.
