Franconia Notch State Park — interstate 93’s speed limit is 65, but as it goes into the park it becomes 45 (i’m uncertain whether this is clearly marked at the entrance to the park.) heading north, as you come up over a hill there’s a trooper waiting for you.

NH laws state that if the limit is 55 or less and you’re going 26+ over the limit (which i was,) then you MUST appear in court. i’m not a NH resident, so the trooper *did me a favor* by only charging me with going 21 – 25 mph over… which is $200 and payable my mail.

i’m sure this is a *favor* they grant to many visitors as they pass through this 7.5 mile stretch of interstate 93. it’s beautiful , so be sure and slow down to enjoy the scenery and save your money.
