Jersey City- Some nice areas, some ok, some not great. Research.

Newark- Ironbound is ok I suppose

Irvington- no go zone during the day.

No

In a world where the police have actual crime to investigate like murder, I don't think it's the best use of police resources to pull people over for speeding on this.

They were too busy pulling people over for driving 11mph over the speed limit on 91.

10 years is not a large sample size, and the sample of bad years is even less. 2018-19 was one of the snowiest winters ever in VT, 19-20 was fairly average. Since then, we've had 3 bad snow years in a row. After 3 years of bad snow in Tahoe in the mid 2010s, people thought that the Sierra would never get a good snow year again and then they have gone on to break several snowfall records in recent years.

I was just referring to the fact that the avg snowfall in SoCal at high elevation (150 inches) is higher than what NJ ever gets in one winter.

OP is correct no matter what since at elevation they already have 150+ inches of snow this year in SoCal

Flagstaff averages 100 inches of snow a year

This storm brought 7+ feet of snow at elevation in SoCal which is like the last 5 nj winters at least

This happens and has happened every winter…

Real ID is a drivers license with a star on it. In 2025 the TSA will be requiring them (or basically a passport) to board flights. That is if they don't push it back again, it was supposed to be required starting in 2012.

Favorite: 287 up in the mountains by Oakland

Least Favorite: 202, 22 and 206 in the vicinity of Somerville Circle. Also 22 from Union to Mountainside.

Assume you’re going to die.

15/17 and 18/21. If I had highways on screen I’d have gotten every city for sure.

Pretty sure you don't need the three peak, M+S is enough.

Happens in the northeast too. Last year on Presidents weekend I left New Jersey and my car thermometer said it was 68 degrees outside. 7 hours later I was in blizzard conditions north of Montreal. Approximately nobody in NJ uses snow tires, between November and April there are more 70 degree days than snowy days.

I commute 78 and yup, it's the truck crash capital of the world. Mess of a road.

“Citibike raising prices is fascism” can you just read that back and realize how silly you are

Great comment, I 100% agree with everything here. Only thing is that he also can drive in from a better area if he doesn’t mind the increased risk of heart attack from driving on 78/turnpike.

85 is hard on the parkway during a busy time but on some of the 65mph interstates (ie, 78, 287) you can get long stretches of 85mph, especially during somewhat off-peak times. I kind of agree with what you're saying with the time save, but you usually average a few mph slower than your top speed on the whole drive, so 80-85 is often worthwhile so that you can average high 70s.

No, I’ll take a guess based on context (that they were supposedly racing) that these guys get some sort of thrill from cutting through lanes. That’s very different from people who just want the left lane to be open so they can drive 85 in a straight line and get home a few minutes quicker.

You should pass cars going at least 10mph faster than them. Any less and it takes you so long to pass that you’re barely even passing, and people will go around in the far right lane. It’s also just not safe to hang out next to cars, ideally you want to be in front or behind them.

Nowhere else have I seen the DOT decide the best option is to just put up “high crash area” signs and call it a day…

That’s the good stretch. From Bridgewater south it’s a complete fustercluck. Fro Morristown north it’s also a bit of a mess.

You think that’s bad? People do it in my area in New Jersey. Yeah, their cars disappear pretty quickly.
