Northumberland, Pennsylvania Speed Traps

There is a Northumberland County Cop that sits up on Fifth Street watching for motorists who speed up or down Strawbridge Road doing over 30mph. The speed limit is 25mph on Strawbridge Road.

This trap is located at the Subaru dealership as you drive into or out of Northumberland on US 11. What makes this trap very sneaky is that the cop hides out among the dealer’s cars on the lot, and at night, it’s very hard to see if the cop is there. If you’re not down to 35 MPH, you’ll get hit.

The best way to avoid this trap is: (if you’re going southbound) slow down as soon as you see the dealership, or (if you’re going northbound) keep your speed down to 35 MPH until you’ve passed the dealership completely.
