State Route 23 New Holland near Shady Maple Smorgasboard

Earl, PennsylvaniaJan 20, 20052 Comments

Speed trap is located at bottom of the hill, heading west towards Shady Maple out of Goodville, as you cross the bridge over a small farm creek. Two sets of lines are used, one heading down the hill and one going up the hill. Officer will use second set of lines as "they hold up better in court", this according to one officer. The officer will sit in a dairy farm drive at bottom of the hill with his lights off. It will either be an Explorer or a Crown Victoria both fully marked.
East Earl Township is notorious for this and will stop at nothing to filch from your wallet. The limit is set at 45 mph but traffic routinely goes 60 plus on that stretch of Rt 23. Be extremely careful of this trap late at night, early morning and beginning and end of the month. Cops here have quotas no matter what anyone will tell you. This is a well known and well used spot which became inactive about five years ago, but it is now in full swing once again. Watch your speed closely on this section, obey the speed limit. East Earl police are not known for their lenience, especially towards tourists or young people. Watch out.
