Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel Drive

Crossing the Chesapeake Bay. I drive this route all the time. This is what it looks like going from the Eastern Shore toward Virginia Beach on the CBBT. The toll is $12 each way which means I ought to own at least a foot of it.

on the radar detector thing.... all the cops on the CBBT use KA band and there is a billion false alarms all up and down it for what reason IDK but if you have a sensitive detector its a cake walk to tell where they all are cuz they don't use pop techniques or laser.

@korntastesgood Uh huh, they have boxes built in which emit X-band which I stopped to look at when I rode my bicycle across the CBBT. They also now have the speed display signs which use K-band. All of the cops use Ka so as you pointed out, they are easy to spot.

LOL...and do they still give you a certificate for a free soda, so that you'll stop at the gift shop/snack bar? ;-)

[vbdenny]

I use to hav a bunch of those certificates but since I have EZPass, I don't know if they still give the coupons to cash payers.

I was there about 2 months ago, and yes they still give a free drink coupon.

[vbdenny]

Thanks for that info. I didn't know since it has been years since I've paid to drive over it.

[WheelockAlarms]

No problem.

Well unless you ARE one of the cops on it, you know every spot they hide. If you are not one of the cops, then you spent some money. Guessing by your screen name you are local and drive an Lexus. Since I have used EZPASS for 5 years and they started taking it on the CBBT last yearm I never get a coupon anymore, but I probably still have a few dozen around. Did you know the State Police get free vouchers for the toll for personal use? It sure is a lot nicer with the 2 bridges,
