The Port Authority of NY/NJ monitors your speed between two or more points if you have an EZ Pass. This information is used to estimate how long it would take you to get to another point and display it on a highway sign. For example, there is such a sign in NJ on I-80 headed toward the George Washington Bridge. It tells you how long to get to the bridge in the expess lane and how long in the local lane. I don't know if your speed info is used to issue tickets, but it certainly could be.


My parents tell of traveling the West Virginia Turnpike years ago. It was like the (pre EZ-Pass) NJ Turnpike - you'd get a toll ticket on entering the system, which they'd use to calculate your toll on the way out. But they would also do the math, and if you'd sped, you got a speeding ticket with your toll. Thanks for visiting West Virginia! Y'all come back now, y'hear!

So everyone stopped at the (state owned) travel plaza and donated to the cause there.

Some things never change.
