Chesterfield, New Jersey Speed Traps

All along Route 528, from the NJ Turnpike overpass after Hog Back Road (border with Bordentown) and all the way passed Old York Road, and then passed the Elemantary School, Township Offices, and the Police Department…. The speed limit changes several times from 35 MPH tp 45 MPH to 35MPH (30 MPH if schoolchildren are present)… The trap can be anywere on this stretch of road….

Spotted patrol car giving someone ticket this morning… This is a very long stretch of road with no traffic or pedestrians and it’s very tempting to exceed the 45-50MPH speed limit, especially if trying to overtake another car if caught behind one going 30-35 MPH…. Buying a radar detector is your only chance. They are not illegal and the cost of avoiding one ticket pays for the device… Don’t intentionally speed with it, just use it as a precaution…

Patrol car is parked beyond Main Street (up the hill close to the Union Firehouse) looking down … and monitors vehicles travelling towards Crosswicks. The speed limit drops from 45 MPH to 35 MPH (on a downhill section of Crosswicks-Chesterfield Rd) as you approach the intersection of Crosswicks-Chesterfield Rd and Main Street…Also, be sure to come to a complete stop at the Stop sign at this intersection….htcqh

Patrol car parks in grass field on Buttonwood Street (facing Chesterfield) and monitors vehicles travelling to/through Crosswicks… The speed limit is 25 MPH and you cannot see the patrol car as you go through the blind curve at the end of Bordentown-Crosswicks Rd, until it’s too late…

Cruiser sits parked at the stop sign (dangerous) on Church St. directly in front of the church at the intersection of Church and Main facing Hamilton
