Favorite revenue generator for the Independence Police who only have juridiction over a small one mile strip of Route 517. By the time you speed up to 45 going Southbound on 517 past Mattar’s on the right, you’ll probably be inclined to bump it up to 50 and as the road declines down toward Hackettstown you have now left Allamuchy and are welcomed to Independance by their police cruiser which is tucked into Ridge Lane. Smile and wave but if you are going faster than the 40 mile per hour speed limit, you won’t have to, because they will pull you over at the bottom of Hackettstown hill on 517 to introduce themselves personally.
