    I know it is up to the LEO, but are we good for about 10 over. I'll be sure to have a pet rabbit.
    ive been I/O'ed at 80 and havent even gotten a second look. i think anything over 80 they'll be coming out after you

    I got pulled for 82 one time and he said I was "just a little too fast."

    From that and the rest of my entirely anecdotal, second hand information, I've deduced that 80 is the threshold.

    K on !!! good advise from a local.
    Your last 40 miles or so don't have any more mountains. But I think there's construction there now, so the fun never stops....

    I forgot to mention there's no laser either. I think we have to keep our speed timing devices simple enough to be built in an Amish workshop or something.

    80 , the last time I drove 76 the PSL was 65 with some 55 sprinkeled around. Did they raise it?

    I fear IO !

    No, they didn't. But everyone hauls ass there and if they pulled over everyone going 75 they would miss everyone going 85...

    Obviously you can't go 80 in a 55, but 65-70 should be alright if there's enough traffic you don't stick out.

    I/O does suck, but a long trip is the perfect opportunity to develop your rabbit baiting skills!

    Most of the PSP on the turnpike have 80mph in a 65mph as their threshold. If there is not much traffic (cars ahead of me will usually get me an instant on K band alert on my V1) or I feel the police may be around, i go 78 or 79mph.

    I can also attest to the perceived 80 MPH threshold. As far as I have been able to tell, PSP won't look at you unless you're going higher than 80. However, as always, I am sure this is dependent on the officer.

    Watch out for the low-power K band guns too, they scare me.

    Growing up in Pa, I never knew there was no Laser? Is there a good reason for this?

    Keep k band on while in PA. Some on here, have found various officers testing out ka band in PA also, so keep ka band on (for your safety). I did encounter numerous k band speed signs in PA. I encountered one 34.7 ka band speed sign going W-bound on I-76 near New Stanton PA. I did also encounter one x band speed sign going N-bound on I-70 between Maryland and I-76. Watch out as a friend of mine witnessed a York city cop using x band radar. Hope this info helps.
