    More Troopers For GS Parkway, NJ Turnpike

    Oct 29, 2004 11:32 am US/Eastern

    (1010 WINS) (TRENTON) Additional state troopers will be assigned to the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike beginning Saturday for a crackdown on speeding and other dangerous driving practices.

    The Parkway will get eight additional troopers; the Turnpike will get nine. Even more troopers are expected to patrol the toll roads by springtime.

    "The really scary thing is recklessness I observe: people on cell phones, out in the left lane, yakking away on someone's bumper," driver Paul Stangas of Metuchen told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's newspapers.

    On the Parkway, the extra eight officers will bring the ranks to 178. That's still 23 fewer than what state police officials consider a full force. On the Turnpike, the nine new troopers will bring the total to 193, 32 fewer than the goal.

    It's simple math: Fewer troopers equals fewer summonses. For the first nine months of this year, state police on the Turnpike issued 49,086 tickets, compared with 70,942 over the same period in 2002. On the Parkway, troopers this year wrote 41,813 tickets through September, compared with 49,578 in 2002.

    I drove to and from Atlantic City last weekend on the GSP . My V1 never went off in either direction and I didn't see one cop the entire trip.

    That's right slow it down,..... or else on a serious note we need to keep it down a little never know when **** could hit the fan i still think about that run we did in the middle of the night and it made me realize how lucky we have been just think if we would have struck a deer that night forget the car maybe one of us would not be here. we could have fun but we need to be more caution on the road with the speed, lets be safe and live long. i for one love the thrill of the sport car but must respect the speed.

    Hey Lupe, do you have access to a Laser Gun by chance? It would be great to see if our "laser diffusers" actually work. May not be feasible...but I figured I would ask. :)

    Sounds good. I know that there are quite a few folks in the EC crew that would like to see if their investment in a laser diffuser actually works.
