....well, not all that old, but that is another story. When EZ Pass first came about, there were yellow caution signs that stated the "speed limits" through the tolls was 10 MPH. In the fairly recent past (few years, I think), these signs were replaced with the white speed limit signs of 25 because some obscure RSA does not allow speed limits below 25 to be post on roads (state roads?).

Not long after EZ Pass came into being, a casual friend breezed through one of the tolls on the Spaulding at 40+ (42, I think) and received a summons from the State for speeding through tolls. He paid the ticket.

From the EZ Pass NH website, FAQ section, check out Miscellaneous and how to get a violation.
