I really need to get some pictures to clear this mess up.
It's really difficult to prove a negative, but an additional sign should go here:

There are times when I've felt like that!

...good one...

OK...it's straightened out. My original post should have been moved to the "Getting There" forum. The clue should have been the "Exit 3-A" reference. My visitor returned to MA via Concord, which is totally "Unexplored Territory" to this host.

However, they weren't strangers to that exit, and the signage (at dusk) happened to be confusing.

A small fine isn't so bad, but they'd heard a friend's costly horror story from last summer in Maryland, where the state stonewalled the friend's explanation, and I believe they had an E-Z Pass in place.

As for the personal intrusion of being photographed and penalized: Who'd want to have their whereabouts on-record—especially in a time-and-location manner—or am I the only one reading of "targeted-citizens" in headlines lately?

Ever look at your e-z pass statement online? Time and place of every toll recorded. Big brother(being nice here) is watching. I oftern wondered if they would write you a ticked if the elapsed time between tolls proved your average speed was over 65? Oh - you might want to switch cell phone carriers if you have Verizon as well - it recent news is correct.

You can't get a speeding ticket for "average speed", by law it takes an observation, or radar by a police officer to charge someone with speeding, showing how much over the speed limit the offender was driving. There would have to be a change in the law for such tickets to be issued. Law enforcement agencies would never support a law that would decrease their force size. I'm not saying the future doesn't include drones watching speeders by air, that technology is old, police planes have been snagging speeders for decades.

I do know from first hand experience that you can get a speeding ticket in British Columbia without anybody present.I rented a car and recieved a speeding ticket in the mail a month later.The speed was taken from a fixed camara/radar instument mounted on an overhead sign.

NHDOT has design problems, and needs to observe how well EZ Pass high speed goes. IN other states, Two miles back there is good signs advising of barrier dividing the high speed lane is left, only. Cash is on right.

NH only has the dividers back half mile from toll; they diagram sign overhead does not show a barrier separation! Accidents waiting to happen!!!

Before they installed EZ Pass in NH, I emailed DOT photos I took when traveling thru tolls in DE at 65! So they then make ez pass in center lanes, not left. NOW they spend money to re-do what was done so poorly at beginning.

The cop says how the heck did this happen, and the driver says: I haven't a clue...I was reading and responding to a text, and the next thing I know...
