Going North on Rt 100 coming out of the Wilmington light speed trap can located on either the right or left side of road with cruiser either in parking area to the multi-family residence located on the west side of Rt 100 (after Old Red Mill Northbound or after the large curve past Cup and Saucer Rest.) or in parking area on east side of Rt 100 after large curve to the right leaving town or southbound after Cup and Saucer)

DMV chevy avalanche vehicle parks perpendicular to the road at an excavator’s yard driveway just east of Lake Raponda Road. Route 9 is downhill at this point and the posted speed is 50mph

Police car is park upwards of the road in a reverse directional driveway.. as you are proceeding east on Route 9 past the entrance to Molly Stark State Park and just before The Horizon Inn. The road expands to a 2 lane passing lane here and curves so you dont have a sight of line to their vantage point.. tendency is for many motorists to gun it here going uphill.. 50 mph posted limit.

Routes 9 & 100 converge in Wilmington and the local police take the towns 20 MPH speed limit seriously. So should you at all hours. Officers like to sit in the Ace Hardware parking lot. Drivers with defective equipment ie:tail lights, headlights etc are likely to draw attention. Lots of weekend tourists pass through town, just take it easy and so will the man.

Next to or behind a small Hot Dog/Ice Cream cart in the True Value parking lot. As you come up the hill on RT 9 East from the traffic light, don’t do more than 30, especially if you are from out-of-state. As you crest the hill, you’ll find a quarter-mile straight, with the Post Office, Sunoco station, and True Value. They sit parked and dark, facing the eastbound lane, just waiting for some fool to come moving through at 35 or 40. Speed limit is 25. It’s an easy place for tickets, take care not to get busted for something so pointless.
