I saw those. What they heck is the purpose of those?

Perhaps if they would stop worry about what people were doing in the privacy of their own vehicle, they could focus on actual criminal activity. Maybe say the Heroin Crisis?? Just remember tickets equal revenue, revenue being the key word..

Exactly what it looks like. Notice how the cuts allow access to on and off ramps without a u-turn. It's a great place to run radar. Almost as easy pickings as the part of the bypass hill that ends at Lilly Pond. Downhill from 55 to 35. They can sit at the bottom and get you on either speed. I've been pulled over at least 5 times on the bypass...no tickets, all verbal warnings. I no longer speed on that road, so it works!

I saw those today and thought that they might be going to do work on the ramps and that those were going to be temporary access.

Not allowing passengers to use devices is ridiculous, many people now commute with 3 others so they can work while commuting, take turns driving. they passed the law, the more people that get caught the less will do it. When there insurance doubles maybe they'll learn.

Yes, beware of that part of the bypass. I came cruising down that section headed to Gilford and was in a hurry. A long line of cars in front of me going as slow as can be. I'm yelling in my head what are you slowing down so quickly for its not a school zone then I look further down and right at the last turn, there are 2 police cars pointing their radar guns straight up the hill. I had Waze, they weren't on that app, and they were so far ahead of my line of sight I didn't notice them. Thank god for all of those cars I was yelling at, they saved me.

Is it a surchargable offense or just a pay this fine and thank you? Googled it but found nothing useful.

I also got pulled over right at that bypass spot doing 51mph last winter.. Officer gave me a verbal warning for doing 4 under the speed limit and I was on my way.

As in, "You drive, I'll navigate", so the driver can be undistracted while driving while the passenger does the modern equivalent of map reading.

My wife and I do this all the time and it works very well.
