Been a while since I traveled the GSP, I am normally on the NJTP.

Sometimes they throw up the EZ-pass monitors to check on traffic conditions
by monitoring the EZ Pass vehicles to determine speed and thus traffic
conditions. But that would mean you should see the antennas pointing down at
the roadway. If these have more of an OMNI positioning, beats me. I would
have to drive up there. I sometimes frequent 131 to 145 so I may not see it
if it does not head up that far.

Most likely if its in the median of the road, those are temporary cell
towers.

While waiting to get easements and permits to build a new tower or to go

on
an existing tower, this is the temp solution to get customers the

coverage
they need.

Nextel finally got theirs up at the 131 mile marker not too long ago

having
to go the same route.


But these are at regular intervals, every few miles, so I don't think it's

a
cell phone company waiting get build a new tower. I frequently travel
between exit 80 and 128, and these are deployed the entire distance, every
few miles.
