Anyone see these? They look like the express lane EZ pass scanners but they're over random spots of the pike. Am I going to be getting a few speeding tix in the mail?

What are the overhead scanners on the Mass Pike?

Yes that was it. There are also two more heading out west to the NY boarder. I understand why they do it on the Tobin bridge to help with traffic, but seems unnecessary out in central/western MA.
I would imagine in 10-20 years most all tolls will be like that.
They should have done it for every lane in Hampton, not just a couple. Maine needs this BIG TIME for the York tolls.

Just get EZ-Pass and issue solved. I still don't understand why people don't get ezpass. There is no extra charge and most times in ny, there is a discount. if you worry about being tracked, get over it, you still can be via your plate. Gotta love when some moron pulls into the EZ-Pass lane without one and looks like a Deer in headlights.
Most people I know who don't have them simply don't use toll roads enough. I bought my wife one about 3 years ago. I mainly bought it because sometimes I use her car and would always forget she didn't have it.
I think she's racked up about $5 in tolls in those three years. I paid $15 for the unit.

I forget the minimum in NH. I have mine set up for $30 and then it automatically reloads from my CC.

I've had EZ pass for 7 or 8 years. Just had heard nothing about switching the pike to open tolls.

Does western Mass still use helicopters for radar? A couple summers ago I was coming around a bend there was a helicopter just hovering about 150-200' over the highway, I saw this again last winter in a similar spot.

EZ Pass automatically adjusts the amount they charge when reloading your account according to how much you use it. I've had EZ Pass a long time & the amount they charge my account fluctuates between $25 to $50. At least that's the way it works in NY.
Sure it wasn't an exercise out of the air national guard base in Westfield?
I've been lucky a few times to be driving the Pike and have an F16 or whatever they are today take off. They appear to be only a hundred feet or so off the ground when they fly over the Pike. Pretty cool

I believe that's the plan for the new Plaza when built.
