Martin Luther King Parkway near 23rd Street

Wilmington, North CarolinaNov 19, 20061 Comments

Same vehicle everytime, and I always see someone falling for it everyday on the way to school. Wilmington Police Department is getting clever with their speed traps lately… This one surprised me. Here’s how it’s done: Wilmington’s unmarked ’06 Light Blue Ford Mustang GT sits off to the side of MLK Parkway with his hazard lights on, as if broken down (Location varies, typically he sits directly past 23rd Street Exit, where the Speed Limit slows down to 50MPH), and waits for unsuspecting motorists to speed by. I literally see a new motorist pulled over every morning from this trap… Supposedly it’s working.

Time of day is very consistant, I’d imagine he gets to the location around 7:00am-7:30am or so, I’m typically driving by around 7:45am, and I either see him still sitting there, or down the road a-ways with someone pulled over.

Be on the look out for this, and keep your eyes open on MLK, there are plenty of places for traps to be set up.

Today, it was the NC Highway Patrol tucked in deep along the 23rd street onramp to the Eastbound MLK. Using the shrubbery as a barrier to where the cars eastbound on MLK can not see the trap.
