Been driving down to LBI a lot this summer, always take caranza>563>679>stage>route 9, avoids most the crazy idiots on 72/539/parkway. So glad I know roads to get around the tourist highways, 539 is a disaster waiting to happen.

Without the back roads I wouldn't go anywhere, especially during summer weekends. Sure hope they don't get closed.

Wait a minute, they already did :argh:

I forgot to mention there is a motorcycle cop on 539 now. So be really careful. He had apparently ticketed a truck on one side of the road and parked on the other, As I came upon him he walked in front of me. He has the microphone hooked to his helmet and is fully decked out both bike and him.

They could solve some of the problems by making the no passing lanes end long before the hills. People pass me going up a hill and when a car comes over the hill going 65 they are on each other really quickly.

The speeders don't give a hoot about no passing lanes. Get some law enforcement out there; plenty of good spots for an ambush. Nothing slows folks down like red and blue flashing lights. I only travel 539 a short distance to get onto Pasadena and even that is too much.

Always see a bunch of cops around the wawa on 539 and 70. But once you get past cedar Glen lakes or whatever it is on the right heading south no more cops and it's a free for all. One morning I was heading up 539 took a left with blinker on guy passed the car behind me and nearly took me out. The truck shook as he went past the tailgate.

I see them lowering the speed limit eventually.

I see this as not being good for the dirt roads that intersect 539. I bet they start blocking some of them and making it harder to access others.
