Hamilton, New Jersey Speed Traps

The Police are often on this road because this is where the Police Station is located. So if you do not see the police you are blind

local police and the county sheriff hide out off both sides of the road usually behing billboards or bushes.

Speed limit starts out at 40mph then once you go over the over pass it drops to 25mph

Just about any cut-out(emergency u-turns)can be a possible
location(especially when the road is wet as they won’t be
on the grass). Between 2AM & 4AM, use caution approaching
the Farley Plaza as they seem to come from nowhere behind
you, and will "pace" your speed on their way to a workbreak
(no radar).I have been told by more than one trooper to
"Just keep it under 80". Written warnings are given, but
rarely. Keep in mind that this area is under the jurisdic-tion of Hamilton and Egg Harbor Twps.(2 of 4 presided over
by a certain judge,who earlier this year was "reprimanded"
by the NJ Attorney General for allowing plea downs of
2 and 4 point speeding tickets to guilty of "local" ordi-
nances,of which the State of NJ gets NO revenue).There will
no mercy for speeding offences for now…Also use extreme
caution approaching the "twin" cut-outs between the Farley
rest stop & the $2.00 tolls, especially during holiday week-ends(you’ll be on a stretch consisting of 5 lanes, and the
temptation to open it up must be avoided). Out of state
speeders are easy prey here; you can use them as "sacri-
ficial lambs", but stay back about 1/4 mile as they will
popped on this long curve.

The roadway makes an obvious descent to a low point in a valley between exits 7 and 7A – around mile marker 56. In the middle of the valley there is an entrance to an "official vehicles" road that crosses the highway, allowing reversal of direction and access to a maintenance yard on the northbound side.
Radar units frequently set their vehicles slightly inside the opening, facing oncoming traffic. I have most often noted surveillance during rush hour periods; 7-10am on northbound side and 4-7pm on the southbound side but it’s a popular ambush site and may occasionally be used at other times throughout the day.
Instant on is the weapon of choice. Best to slow down before the grade and resume speed on the other side.
