A word to the wise- watch your speeds on the local thruways 990, 290, 90 and 190.
Long story short, i got nailed for 83 in a 55 today, and talked my way out of it ( not telling how i got out of it) . The trooper told me he is shooting laser and that in the 4 hours he had been on patrol, he had pulled over 16 cars and wrote 15 speeding tickets. He also said that the NYS police have been getting numerous complaints about people speeding around here and that they are going to be enforcing the speed limit like never before.
I should also add they are doing radar in pairs or 3. So if you see someone pulled over, dont assume that another trooper isnt sitting 1/2 mile down the highway becasue they are doing that.
Especially watch the 219 area between 20A in Orchard Park and the Ridge Road Lackawana exit. The area by Milestrip is being greatly patrolled and I saw the same cop with someone pulled over on four separate occasions of passing him all in the same day within 4 hours.
on south western BLVD by all the dealers, the troopers are actually shooting laser in the construction zones.
I’ve NEVER seen them use the laser gun on roads other than thruways (219,90,290etc)
Amherst likes using motorcycle cops for guns/lasers whatever.
Anyway, the 290 has been really covered lately, I think every time I’ve been on it someones been pulled over. Also, I don’t know where they sit, but Walden Avenue exits always have people pulled over going either direction, must be hiding on the on ramps or something.
im surprised so many people speed by that much. i limit myself to 10over and thats only if im with a group of cars. you guys doing 20+ the speed limit are just asking for trouble.
at them they
