Comment (5/2003): especially at exit 19; also at 116~118 miles from new york city

Comment (5/2003): We got caught at the same place last month by a LIDAR. We actually have a video shot of it.

Comment (6/2003): The enforcement from yardstick 115 to 120 Northbound is the heaviest I have ever seen!

Comment (9/2003): I87North is a heaven for stte troopers. We got caught way upstate, almost at the end of I87.

Comment (04/2008): I\'ve been driving for 45 years and never received a speeding ticket, but got one today from town of Athens, NY..where I was traveling with the flow of traffic. Just bad luck to be caught in a speed trap town.
