It's at the top of quite a hill, which shouldn't surprise you. At the bottom of this hill, an unassuming sign proclaimed "Road Curves Next 19 Miles." They weren't kidding. New Jersey has its tough roads too. My usual reaction to a speed limit sign was to assume that the road is safe at double the posted speed. I have learned one lesson though. When you see a sign that says 5 MPH, take heed, cuz they're serious. Bang. Ouch. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
