Henry Hudson Parkway near George Washington Bridge

Manhattan, New YorkJun 24, 20071 Comments

The Henry Hudson Parkway runs north up the west side of Manhattan. It is also known as the "West Side Highway". On the northbound side there are a set of curves where the speed limit drops from 50 to 35. NYPD-Highway sits here and writes for over 60 mph. The limit goes back up to 50 near the toll booth. While the area is signed, most cars moving at the 60 mph average coming out of the 50 zone don’t slow down. This is a very expensive ticket, as it is "heard" in Traffic Violations Bureau, where there are No deals, so the six or eight point ticket results in $300-$450 in Points Tax and a fine of $140 to $230. This is the single worst speedtrap in NYC.

Comments:
On the two mile stretch -- heading north-- before the Henry Hudson Bridge-- the speed limit signs are frequent and different, there's even two speed signs next to each other, one with 30MPH the other 45MPH. It's also considered a construction zone although there's no construction.
