So instead of addressing the real issue of no barricades they have decided to increase police presence. DO NOT exceed the speed limit from Windgap to 80, there are a TON of cops out doing speed traps at all the construction zones

Yep , i drive there 5 days a week and they're out there in droves.

I've seen robberies with less cops at it...
When I came through on Wednesday there was:
2 marked state troopers
1 marked state trooper station wagon
1 marked state trooper van
2 standard unmarked trooper cars
1 state trooper SUV
the 2 unmarked were gunning, every one else had a car pulled over
I drive this section twice a day, every day...and have yet to see any cops in this section. I have never seen more than one at a time on the entire stretch from 22 to 80. Definitely not any out this week when I went through...
In light of this news, though, I guess I will be taking it a little slower....
Stay safe.
Not sure when you drive through but you should probably open your eyes. its a rare day when I don't see at least one or 2 cops on Rt 33, especially between 248 and Wind Gap, they love that center median by the bridges, the long on ramp from 191, and one or 2 of the pull offs closer to wind gap.
They are doing targeted enforcement up further now though, they are primarily sitting by the construction zones so they can bust you and have it cost more
Going 45 is that much safer than 55? It will injure them that much less? If you arent running over cones while texting then you shouldnt hit anyone.
If one, in the course of his job, for whatever reason steps into the road and gets hit...
Dont walk out into the road. There are moving machines traveling at speed there. Its not a good idea. They take time to stop and your orange vest wont help.
Unless you have worked on a highway with cars and trucks speeding by, you really cannot empathize with those who do. So, his statement is likely as born out of ignorance as it is stupidity and a good example of the selfish attitude that contributes to the degradation of society in general, and in this case traffic safety. So long as people are proud to be self centered egotists, Dredly is right, and the government has no choice but the dumb down the highways to the point where people like this, with a two year old's mentality, can safely navigate them with minimal harm.
I travel that route way to often and I have always seen quite a few troopers set up around stockertown.
I am dam glad to hear they are setting up farther north now! It is getting insane out there! I was passing the sciota exit last week and traveling the norm of 70mph to stay in the flow when some kid comes up on my ass in his new dodge challenger and nascar style drafts me for probably 2 miles! He finaly gets the clearing to pass and within another mile was totaly out of sight! All I kept thinking is (in his nascar mentality) if the guy infront of me checks up for any reason and I need to tap the brakes? This guy is literaly going to eat my ass! I will be dammed if I want to be the pocono rechids next headline!
