Wilmington, Delaware Speed Traps
Centerville Road near St. Catherine’s Church
They sit on Centerville Road in both directions usually right in front of the church. Speed limit is 35 MPH. From Lancaster Pike once you pass Little Falls the Speed limit drops from 45 to 35 MPH by the time you see the police they have you.
Faulkland Road near Centerville Road
DSP and County Police sit on the left side of Faulkland Road when you approach Centerville Road(coming down a nice hill). They are obvious but as you top the hill you’re caught. Posted speed limit is 30 MPH.
Pennsylvania Avenue near Street Street
Police car sits in parking lot of Baxters (Union Street and Pennsylvania Avenue). If you are coming from the north e.g., Greenville), the speed changes suddenly from 35 mph to 25 mph and they are there waiting for you.
Baynard Road near Marsh Road
The speed limit sign after turning onto Baynard from Marsh Road is buried behind overgrown trees. Police wait for speeders even 5 over on this hilly road. I think the speed limit is 30, but it’s nearly impossible to go that slow. Cops Wait Outside Of The Car with a radar.

State Highway Kirkwood near St. James Church Road
When you are driving East from Newark towards Limestone Road or Prices Corner, the State Police place their unmarked blue Dodge Charger 2 car widths off the road, behind the trees after WoodMill and prior to Dunkin’ Donuts. The speed limit is 45 but considering you’re looking at a long, straight downgrade gradually rising to a large intersection, average speeds are about 60. And the cops always catch people there! If and when you see people 1/2 mile ahead of you hitting their brakes for no reason – there’s a reason.
