>At the Boston end of the Mass. Pike is the Prudential Tunnel.
>It's about .25 miles long. They've just recently installed

>til your ticket shows up in the mail.

>Also, FYI, the speed limit in the tunnel and for the area .20
>miles before and after the tunnel is 45 MPH. On the inbound side,
>it drops to 35 and then to 20!! I've never seen anyone doing 20
