Taconic State Parkway NORTH and I-84
State Police will sit in median on the Taconic right before the I-84 overpass (monitoring northbound traffic). Oftentimes well hidden, but anyone entering the Taconic North from 84 East will notice it. I’ve seen this trap nearly every time I come off of 84 onto Taconic North midday and have seen a few people pulled over as a result of this trap. Posted limit is 55 but I haven’t seen anyone do 55 on this road in awhile. Norm is 65-70. They’ll pull you over for anything over 65. This can be a trap for those coming onto the Taconic as well because they can judge your merge as being reckless and ticket you for that. It is a one-car job – but the rest stop mentioned in the other speed trap (a little further up N) is now closed and motorists cannot access it from the highway.
