Just at the town limits on State Route 16

Greenwood, DelawareNov 29, 20111 Comments

As you approach the town heading East, the speeds drop quickly from 50 MPH to 35 MPH and then 25 MPH at the town limits, and right there in a parking lot is a cop with all the latest gear to include a printer and WiFi connection, to write you up. If you do not pay very close attention, you can easily miss the slightly obscured signs on Route 16. I myself got nailed for $202.00 and while I paid the fine, the sign placement, and location of the cop, left little doubt it is a major source of revenue. Before he had even started writing my ticket up, the officer had 3 other victims. He was making some serious money for the towns coffers. I’ll never go near Greenwood again, nor will I spend money for anything out of that nasty little town.

I have the same exact story. They are not trying to catch real speeders. Its a trick for money. They provide a yellow warning sign for the 35 change but not the 25 where they are hidding. I will get gas and eat in georgetown from now on.
