Small town used highly as a bypass to the Jersey shore. Speed limit is 25mph and hightly enforced. 1-2mph above limit will lead to enforcement.

Comment (10/2003): could be true.I have done 25-30 there.town is ritzy and appears likerevenue is important to them.I don't go there and bypass it,usually.

Comment (10/2003): As a local resident of 50+ yrs. I know that Allentown has always had a reputation inregard to thier enforcement of traffic laws. If youu take I-195 to ext. 11 you can bypass on your way to the shore.

Comment (4/2005): That's ridiculous that 1-2mph over the speed limit will get you a ticket in NJ. I'm from PA and they allow 5-7mph over the speed limit before they pull you over!

Comment (5/2005): This is true. We always try to avoid Allentown at all costs. I was in court there once and it was mobbed with traffic offenses. Maybe they need more crime to keep them busy?
