Exit 26 off Route 95N at Newell Avenue
If you take exit 26 from Route 95N you will come to a stop sign at intersection with Newell Avenue. This is not necessarily a speed trap, but definitely police checking inspection stickers and giving citations for "rolling" through that stop sign. They will also issue a "rolling" violation as well at other stop signs on Newell Avenue. They stay well hidden on Barnes Street, Magill Street, and deep in the parking lots of local businesses.
