Manchester, New Jersey Speed Traps

Parked at the cumberland parking lot and down by the United Church of Christ

Often there is a police car sitting at the entrance of the Heritage Minerals property on rt 70

In reality there are several traps along this stretch of Route NJ 70, starting at the intersection of CR 530 & 70, there are several "indentations" in the Barrens that have been "carved out," specifically for the purpose of running radar. You will not see the cruisers until they are right behind you with their lights on, the last radar post prior to reaching CR 539 is right accross from the Army’s FTX complex, they will sit out in plain view in a large open area of the forest, but as you come around the hilly bend and if you are speeding, it’s all over but the signing. Depending on your attitude you can get off with 10 MPH summons or a 5 MPH summons, Manchester TWP PD is not known for its "compassion", but you treat them right and you may get off with a warning summons.

Police Officer will sit in parking lot of Cumberland Farm (front of car facing east CR571) this location is within 1/4 mile of speed change from 50mph to 40mph. Enforcement of speed regulations is strict. No deals for traveling 20mph over speed limit in twp.
