Interstate 79 near Mars/Cranberry exit

Cranberry, PennsylvaniaApr 23, 20041 Comments

When traveling South of I-79, just after the Cranberry/Rte 19 exit, the road will wrap to the left and begin going downhill. You will see a big grassy area in the center with a lot of trees. A Statie will often sit there and you usually can’t see him until you’re he has already "gunned" you. The last posted speed limit sign is 65 mph, but, that is a few miles back, so, who know what the actual enforcable speed limit is. I always slow to 55 mph there, just to be safe. 9 times out of 10, there is nobody there, but, better safe than sorry. Your best chance of seeing him is on weekdays between 4:30-6:00 p.m. I’ve never actually seen him going after anyone, but, it’s advised to still watch your speed through there.

The speed limit on I-79 in that area IS 65. It only goes down to 55 on I-79 S when you're within 10 miles of Pittsburgh. I'm not really sure if it goes down to 55 at any point on I-79 N, but I can assure you that it is 65mph in that area.
