Wilmington, North Carolina Speed Traps

This is just a warning to all drivers that two red light cameras are located at this intersection. Do not attempt to run the light or you will run out of cash paying a fine to city law enforcement. I find it kind of different that you can do 50 miles per hour on Shipyard Boulevard. Most busy streets in Wilmington are 45 m.p.h at the most.

Sunday mornings NHC sheriffs and NC State H.P. share duties with moving radar getting cars headed N & S on S. College Rd.

Particularly at night, Sheriff cars are dark brown or black practically invisible at night. Car parked in grassy median strip Speed Limit is 45mph recently reduced from 55.

In New Hanover County, traffic enforcement is big business, cash cow for lawyers, courts etc.

scooter riders beware there is a wpd officer that actually patrols on a scooter looking for riders on scooter that travel faster than 30mph which is the speed they must travel by law to not need a license so dont get to drag racing this guy because even if you pull away an smoke him you wont smoke the patrol car/bike that he radio’s about you

Another short road, that the police sit on waiting for you to break the recently reduced speed limit from 35 to 25. Again, they wait about a 100 feet past the turn waiting for you. Are often there each month.
