Please explain the (Best in the State) next to the NJ Turnpike frequency. If that means what I think it means, your mistaken, they are 2nd best to the GSP maintenance crew, grin...

Sure I'll explain, Turnpike complete weather updates on that frequency before, during and after the storm, hourly storm updates, turnpike begins operations when the first flake falls. Hourly storm updates until the last flake is clean up.

Parkway radio channels, No Weather updates, No Hourly updates and I have driven the parkway when it snow they hardly clean the road.

Turnpike Vs Parkway snow wise - The Turnpike wins hands down.

PS.. I don't work for the turnpike.

Your right, to each his own.... Snow plows or Monmouth Park Racetrack "Breeder's Cup". While on the road listening to the plows can save you time, or avoid accidents.

Mondaro,

Before you miss understand me, the word grin... was at the end of my post. Both roads do an excellent job, both give weather reports before, and during the storm. Each road has different obstacles and terrain, it's really hard to compare them.

To be honest with you, I enjoyed the posts by you and Mondaro, the forums lately have been dead, or at least boring, I'm to old to take anything personal, I enjoy reading the posts here, and have respect for all who get involved.

my favorites to monitor are:

Union County Public Works/Road Dept. 453.500 (very active)

Roselle Park DPW 151.040 (they used this frequency last winter for snow removal, however the dpw hasn't used it since, they may have received cell phones since then)

Cranford DPW 154.055 (also a simplex frequency used in some school in Kenilworth)

The above frequencies are for the plows only. If you want to listen to supervisors and such then you have to monitor the NJ 800MHz trunk system.

When troopers report roads to be plowed NJSP uses STATECOM to talk to DOT.

Tony,

The segment you are refering to is a small part of the the Authority's New York Region (as shown in http://www.nysthruway.gov/maps/01-15.shtml ). Their channels are:

453.425R (97.4) Channel A (simulcast with B)
453.525R (97.4) Channel B (simulcast with A)
458.525 (97.4) Channel 5

As far as I know the PIP+ uses 37.9400 . I don't know if Alpine helps them but if they do, they are on 154.1000 PL 151.4. I think the Tappan Zee bridge uses 453.425 or 453.525 depending on where they are located on the bridge!
