Extremely narrow lanes especially when going under the overpasses. An adventure. o_O The old Interboro.

Wouldn't mind seeing a few cameras on the Jackie Robinson Pkwy. It's an adventure at night. Racing, tailgating........

The BMW driving racers and tailgaters are smart enough to cover their license plates. The tickets will go to commuters doing 60 in a 50. It is not about public safety, it is about the money.

Just like $125 for making a legal right on red without coming to a complete stop.

Glad you mentioned that. Seems like every other car in crooklyn has a temporary plate, out of town plate or obstructed plate. Sometimes all of the above!

I remember that highway. Been a couple of decades since I last drove it. Felt like a bowling ball in the gutter. Had a car from the opposite lanes come over the concert barrier airborne once & land on the car behind me.

It certainly was an adventure back then.

The section where the interboro and Grand Central pkwy met was called connecting hwy. In the 70s, they would race muscle cars for pink slips along this stretch. I could hear the cars from Astoria!

No 311 or internet to break things up either.

I was selling a car and asked the buyer if he needed DMV forms. He said no, he bought it for his daughter who got a DWI and he was registering it in Florida at the grandma's address.

This a list of construction sites that will have speed cameras to protect the road crew.

Interesting timing that this suddenly pops up in my feed:

Maybe it was an ROI calculation, as speeding in a construction zone lets them double the fine!!

I see more and more people doing things to their license plate to make it unreadable by cameras: scratching paint off, tape over a number or 2, reflective covers.....is that even legal?
