Wonderful traps in those areas. Looks like you hit a road block. Which really sucks.
At first I thought that sheriff car was an Essex County one, apparently they all bought the same Impala with the same paint job.
With Sam, they need to start painting tickets with Super Glue to make them stick to him because the last few...well, let's just say he's been lucky.
There's a few sections on Route 9 that have speed traps, mostly because the individual towns set the speed limits and have lowered them, for "public safety purposes", so take it easy. I know of at least two or three, Sam knows em all.
