Lincoln Tunnel approach ramp (just befor helix)
This one is really nasty. On the straight stretch of 495 which preceeds the helix the speed drops from 50MPH. During a nornal weekday at 8AM the traffic on this ramp is so bad that you would never exceed the posted speed limit of 35MPH. Unforunatly I had to go into New York City on the day after Thanksgiving which would normally be a crowded Friday morning but traffic was light due to the holiday. As you approach the helix just after the Park Avenue exit there is
an entrance ramp on the right hand side, this is where the Port Authority cop holds a hand held radar gun. When you travel down the helix and approach the tolls there are half a dozen PA cop just waiting to write everyone a ticket.
Now the day after Thanksgiving only comes once a year but I would not be surprised to see this one on a weekend morning or even during the off hours in the middle of the day or even late at night.
