Back then, the speed was 5 mph and they had about 1 or 2 EZPass booths on any given bridge/road. They also monitored one's "pass through" speed, and if you ripped through at more than 15-20, they would send a warning or 2, then a ticket and then, cancel your transponder!

Now, pass through speeds have increased as have # of booths at each toll area. We use ours on every trip up from NC, via 95 from Balt to NJ/NY/CT.

One toll booth, at bottom of NJ Tpk where you run up to the Delaware Twin bridges, allows for car to go through at 55, 60+, etc. But, it's a Wide laned plaza...I suspect they keep the speeds down on most toll plazas to keep the idiots from cranking through some very congested toll areas with mixed use booths, eg cash, trucks, tokens, etc.

NEway, Big Brother "could" get the data, but in the meantime, it's a great fooking invention, imo.

I'm sure in time, they'll increase it... Already in the first week, they had radio ads telling people to slow down through the EZ pass lanes. I also think it's a great invention! I'm just amazed it took us this long to get it.
