Wilton blvd/Applebee rd
Anytime your on Wilton blvd watch for county smokeys and keep your speed at 35 mph, especially at the corner of Wilton Blvd and Applebee rd. They hand out Seat belt tickets like candy!
Thomas Corner Rd & Thomas Landing Rd
Not really a speed trap. County cop sits behind the pine trees to catch north bound cars on Del RT 9 that roll past a stop sign at the corner of a left hand turn for normal traffic at Thomas Corner and Thomas Landing Road. Traffic is minimal on Rt 9 on the two lane road so it is easy to let your guard down. New Castle county is experiencing a budget crisis so revenue must be generated. County is issuing citations for turn signals and seat belt violations to generate income.
