Is it me, or does it seem like more accidents occur on the Eatontown (exit 105) to Keyport (exit 117) stretch of the parkway than anywhere else?

You seem to be correct.

I drive that way everyday to and from work, i have not seen any accidents and im very surprised by this because people drive it like its a racetrack,i dont know how many times ive looked in my rearview mirror to seen a car speeding up behind me and getting ready to ram me and then switch lanes at the very last second and cut other drivers off not to mention people speeding to no end

Jar,you are correct..It seems like that is the most accident prone area..I see people driving way to fast and taking those exits WAY WAY too fast as well.

My boss was talking to me today and what he noticed is that when he hit the area for 109 he noticed a drop in temp in his car and when he got to south amboy area it went back up. He thought that it maybe the way the land is and it could have a valley affect which would changed the driving conditions when it rains or snows.

I agree with Christine. I see accidents there very often, and people are driving way to fast, taking the exits too fast, and not using any courtesy letting signaling drivers change lanes to pass or exit. Distracted drivers texting or on the phone, and sleepy drivers are also endangering all of us.

At the 117 exit area alone there has been at least 3 deaths in the last few months :-(

The GSP was never designed for cars to average 85MPH. Nor can a modern American car survive almost any accident at that rate of speed. Simple physical laws will not allow it. SLOW DOWN. 30,000 people per year die in US car accidents, almost 800 in NJ!!!!!

The parkway is treacherous. It's a blessing that there aren't more fatalities considering people driving so recklessly each and every morning. More police presence please, and heavy fines for speeders.

Everyone is in a Damm hurry whether its on the Parkway or your local streets. I love when I am driving and person behind me MUST pass me so he can take a right turn 100 ft in front of me..

They need to change the word from accident to intentional..Causing an accident because you are a lousy inconsiderate driver aint no accident..Its INTENTIONAL..People are dying because of Rotten drivers..Many people would be alive if they SLOW DOWN, use turn signals..

Did anyone took pictures of the accident on exit 117.
My good friend Die today in the accident

mmmm mi sentido pesame :(

So sorry for your loss, Angel. We all need to take better care of each other. Part f that is driving more responsibly.

Paul, you are correct when you say Turn signals only let people know what you are doing..By you not using them, you may contribute to accidents..I get pissed off when I have my blinker on to change lanes and start to change lanes but that person in front of me changes lane without a signal ..If that person had his signal on I wouldnt of changed lanes..There is more risk of accidents when people change lanes..Using signals helps everyone around them know what your intention are..Accident risks do increase when you Don't use turn signals

I have noticed that the people on any road any place...
Are total MORONS

I will drive down Rte 35 and encount traffic lights and leave earlier to avoid the parkway!

The problem is simple, as you can see when reading all these posts...no one has any patience! You have to realize that people drive like idiots. Getting mad at all the mistakes people make is not the answer...just a great problem. Most of you need to relax!

The problem is idiots like Paul driving down the parkway, changing lanes without signalling, and not keeping to the right. Unless you're passing someone, there's no reason to be in the left lane on the parkway AND it's illegal.

Yes, there is a statue for what you're claiming (keep to the far right of the lane), but there is also a law that states you must keep right and pass left only. The articleS are discussing that law being enforced more harshly.

The laws of New Jersey require motorists to keep to the right, except when
passing. Motorists must drive on the right half of the roadway unless driving on a
one-way street. Motorists must drive a vehicle as close as possible to the righthand
edge or curb of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another
vehicle. (N.J.S.A. 39:4-82)

@Paul.
What you're referring to:
"The laws of New Jersey require motorists to keep to the right, except when passing. Motorists must drive on the right half of the roadway unless driving on a one-way street. Motorists must drive a vehicle as close as possible to the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle. (N.J.S.A. 39:4-82) "

What the rest of us are referring to:

"On a multi-lane roadway, motorists must drive in the lane nearest to the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway when the lane is available for travel, except when overtaking another vehicle or in preparation for a left turn. (N.J.S.A. 39:4-88) "

Paul, you seem so quick to call someone else an "idiot" yet when proven wrong you just take your ball and high tail it home without a word?

paul heyman is what I call an "ICT" (Internet Comment Terrorist). They hide behind the mask of anonymity, attack with a few disparaging remarks followed by some insults, then run (if they didn't blow themselves up) like cowards. Read his posts on other topics, they all have a similar "MO".

They're "a dime a dozen" on the internet.

There is very little enforcement on the GSP
Remember there used to be a bunch of speed traps every 1.1 miles. 119.9,118.8,117.7,116.6. People in express still slow down southbound after 114 for that paved median area but rarely see a radar cop there either.

Yes, ph has failed every time to refer to any facts to support his spurious (ph look that one up) opinions. We need to continue to confront ignorance whenever it raises is ugly head.

All over the parkway this morning:

"STATE LAW
KEEP RIGHT
PASS LEFT"

Paul you should contact the parkway administrator and tell him/her that they are wrong....and apparently an idiot.

Why. Your mommy lets you out to drive jarhead? You must have a very sad life to spend so much time on here posting.
