Newark, Delaware Speed Traps

Sitting in parking lot of the old Curtis Paper Mill. They are there almost daily – at various times

As you are going South on I95, approaching the service area, there is a little road that is well hidden going back to a gated area…. If the cops are NOT there then ARE sitting at the very end of the service area. Also, don’t be quick to speed up after you get by them, there is normally MORE cops sitting right around the bend about 1/2 mile away. I see them every monday and thrusday as I head to MD. The speedlimit is posted at 55MPH.

RT. 896 North or South located at and nearby the exits to and from I95 in Newark. State cops located on median as you exit I95 and merge onto 896. Also, as you travel down 896S toward superfresh there will be more state cops. Most are located just past the exit from 95. They also use unmarked vehicles sometimes such as large green Ford Excursion, silver Dodge Stratus, and a Ford Taurus. Be on the lookout.

North bound on Interstate 95 from Maryland into Delaware. The speed limit drops from 65 mph in Maryland to 55 mph in Delaware. Multiple Delaware troopers will park in median and aim the laser at motorists as they cross the state line. The distance from the troopers to the state line is a few hundred feet.

During AM rush hour only, county police often sit on the shoulder of Welsh Tract Road right before/after the bridge over I-95. Doing the standard 50 instead of the posted 35, you can’t seen them as you approach from either direction until it’s too late. Drivers in the opposite direction are pretty good about warning you with high beam flashes.
