Wilmington, North Carolina Speed Traps

If you are on Independence between Park Avenue and Wrightsville Ave, be careful. When the shrubbery / bushes is thick and uncut (Empie Park side) at the curve between the church and Empie Park, the Wilmington Police Department has been know to tuck behind the bushes for a speed trap.

Galls is the warehouse that is authorized to stock uniforms, holsters, etc for Law Enforcement officers (that’s a good thing).

However, if you happen to speed on Exchange Drive to get to any of the eating establishments in the strip-mall and Law Enforcement is pulling out of the Galls parking lot, you will get pulled and ticketed.

As soon as you leave the 40mph zone coming off Kerr into the 35mph zone on Randall before entrance where Tax Office is in tall brick building.

Just an FYI. I was traveling 45 on this road and blue mustang pulled me over and wrote me for 59mph. I live 1/4 mi. from here and wouldn’t speed; I know better. So, now I have to fight it. Why can’t Wilmington P.D. get funds honestly instead of preying on innocent taxpayers. Total ABUSE OF PUBLIC OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greenville Loop Rd is a huge speed trap. Althought there is a posted speed limit of 45, just before the big curve the speed is reduced to 35 mph. There is usually a patrol car or motorcycle policing that stretch of rd.
