I'm wise to the situation already so I NEVER speed there. I believe the speed limit is 25MPH there!! It's pretty simple what is going on. NJ/NY are looking to slash budget. Since the PAPD is supported by both states a means to justify there existence is need. I guess there job of making sure our tunnels, bridges, and mass transit systems are safe and secured has taken a back stage now. PAPD is one of the highest paid LE agencies around for it's size. This isn't a safety issue at this point rather more like public harassment/extortion.

+1 on that. They are so hungry for money, a friend of mine was almost getting a jay walking ticket in East Orange!
