It’s a 35mph school zone in Boiceville.

True. But just for a couple of hours a day.

Never speed eastbound near Potter Brothers, if there was ever a spot to get popped for doing 5 over that is it. Seems like the Kingston PD likes to prey on folks headed home from skiing that weren't mindful of their speeds coming downhill into town.

Yup - got nabbed there a few years ago.

You have a moral obligation (to me) to go as fast as possible at all times.

Whenever I'm not exceeding the speed limit by more than 7 mph, I always think about @Brownski giving me shit.

Broski's Rules for a Road like the Northway (as interpreted by Harv)

Basically, on a three lane road, the only legit place to go the speed limit is the right hand lane. And it's barely legit.

Middle Lane 72 is OK, but 75 will help you avoid the look of shame

Left-hand lane 75+ minimum (like in a nor'easter) and noone within 100 yards behind you. Go faster or GTF out the way.

If Broski in traveling, play it safe, just stay the f home.

Is there anyone except Broski who HASN'T gotten a ticket on 28?!

 

[Brownski]

17 and 28 may be the only roads I haven’t gotten tickets on- I mean back when I was young and drove fast

The horror stories I have read on here make me drive slow on 28--I generally prefer Brownski's view of speed. I did get a ticket on the Taconic (near Clinton) on the way to Jiminy with my daughters a couple years back. 72 in a 55.

I think I’ve gotten about four tickets on the Taconic - back when I was young and drove fast. They were all in the 72- 75 range, which is funny because I’d hit some ridiculous numbers back then. 70 is definitely the traditionally recognized tolerance on that road.

The weird thing about back road speed limits is you almost never see 60mph in this area - 55 on everything from 1 lane in each direction to highways separated by barriers. It is so dumb. The Thruway/Northway gets near Albany and drops to 55 - why not 60???

I have been on 1 lane in each direction double yellow back roads in Texas and the speed limit is 75mph.
