Kure Beach, North Carolina Speed Traps

They sit at city hall and watch for people that have been in a 55mph zone to not get down to the 35mph at the city limit, then 25mph a block later.

The Kure Beach Police set up on the side of the road as you come from Ft. Fisher into the town limits. They do a brisk business with the ferry traffic.

Traveling Highway 421 South through Carolina Beach takes you to the town of Kure Beach. It has more police per capita than any other town. They are bored and there is plenty of time for them to sit and wait for the next person who is not watching and exceeds the 35 MPH speed limit. You can almost always find them at the CAMA public access area on the ocean side of Hwy 421 right at the town limits. After 11PM, they sit there in hopes of finding “probable cause” to stop you and run a sobriety check. Be Careful.
