Whiteville, North Carolina Speed Traps
US 74 near NC 242
The speed limit changes frequently from 55 mph, to 65 mph, to 60 mph, to 70 mph, then 55 mph, and then 60 mph – NC state troopers are sitting in median for both east and west bound lanes of traffic. Be extremely wary around Whiteville.
US Highway 74/76 near Interstate 95
I am shocked that this stretch of road from Interstate 95 in Lumberton to Wilmington NC is not mentioned here. The speed limit is 45 mph, 60 mph, then 70 mph, then 55 mph. You must be extremely wary, especially around Whiteville NC. I know many people that had met the fine officers of the NCHP on this deserted, boring divided highway!
Highway 74
Unbelievable number of tickets written in this area, especially by N.C. State Highway Patrol. Much of traffic is headed to and from NC beaches making for easy (can’t wait to get there) targets. I’ve traveled this highway for 20 years and would estimate seeing troopers either rolling or waiting 90 percent (minimum) of the time. Ask ANYONE who travels this stretch of road! Whiteville jail and courthouse conveniently (if your law enforcement) located just a few minutes drive from highway 74.
