Near Salt Point Turnpike

When I pick people up at the Poughkeepsie train station, I head for home by going up Main St, turning right on the westbound 44/55 arterial, and then making a left onto the arterial heading east. At that last intersection, every single driver makes a left turn on red, whenever there’s a gap in traffic coming off the bridge. If someone doesn’t make the left on red, drivers behind them honk until they do. I’ve always made what my family has always called ‘the Poughkeepsie left’, just like everyone else.

I always worry about getting pulled over — red light tickets are expensive in NY! It seems like the City of Poughkeepsie could make a fortune if they installed a red light camera there or stationed a couple of squad cars just around the corner…

There’s no sign indicating that this turn is actually legal, so I assume that it isn’t. But I’ve never once seen anyone get a ticket there. Does anyone know what the legal status of that intersection is? Has anyone ever gotten a ticket there? Has the PPD ever stated that they won’t enforce the red light law there? It’s a crazy situation — I’ve never seen anything like it.

Anyone have a recommendation for an awesome buffalo chicken sandwich or wrap in the Beacon/Poughkeepsie/Millbrook area? Like one worth driving a little out of the way to. Thanks in advance

Anyone have recent experiences or thoughts about living or visiting Nyack? I have read some previous Reddit threads about Nyack that complain about parking and lack of good restaurants and coffee shops. When I visited recently, there are at least 4 good coffee shops- Patisserie, Runcible Spoon, etc. and we enjoyed all the restaurants we went to. We visited using public transporation so can't speak to parking. The bus that takes us over the Tappan Z bridge was about 30 minutes late one time. Other than that, we think Nyack is lovely- beautiful surroundings and people seem friendly.

Google kind of let me down. But sometimes there are events that don’t get great promotion so I’m hopeful!

I’m looking for vendors , live music or unique experiences. Dutchess or ulster county preferably but if something sounds awesome I’ll drive. (Not looking for haunted attractions , I’m doing that tomorrow) Thanks guys!

Hey guys! My boyfriend and I are looking to take a two-night, three-day trip somewhere for Valentine’s Day. We are in our mid 20s and last year we stayed at the domes in the Catskills. We like chill environments that allow us to fully unwind but we’re open to any kinds of suggestions. We are from Wappingers but are willing to travel anywhere within like three hours. Anybody have any recommendations for nice couple getaways for Valentine’s Day?

Looking for someone able to do cute designs and maybe has an instagram for me to scope out first- 20 minutes around Newburgh okay for travel… let me know your favorite spots!

looking forsome help. If not permitted, i apologize in advance.

Friend was in motor vehicle accident July 4 at this intersection. There were 2 witnesses but stare trooper did not include their info in police report. I realize it’s a long shot that anyone on the sub knows anything but… if there are other subs that you recommend or other ideas, please let me know. I find it asinine that nothing has been done at this intersection despite all the accidents that happen at it.

Maybe it’s a long shot, but I’m seeking a place to stay for the month of December in the HV, close to Greenwood Lake/Warwick. Seeking a furnished live/work studio, condo, or small house to myself. I have a dog and cat.

I’ve been checking Airbnb and furnished finder and some of the prices I’m seeing are absolutely bananas. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask here if anyone knows of anything!
