Wilmington, North Carolina Speed Traps

Another short road, that the police sit on waiting for you to break the recently reduced speed limit from 35 to 25. Again, they wait about a 100 feet past the turn waiting for you. Are often there each month.

The road is short, but don’t let that fool you. Another road that the speed limit was dropped from 35 to 25 in the last few years, and the cops wait right at each corner just waiting for you to accelerate past 35. This is one of their favorite spots and are there regularly each month.

I live in the Ogden area, and for the past 2 weeks I have seen a big increase in traffic stops along Market street between Bayshore Drive and Porter’s Neck road. It’s 45mph but most go 50 plus, except rush hour. Be careful especially at night because this area is being patrolled heavy by state troopers, local police, and county sheriff’s, and they are pulling people over.

Typically an officer is sitting in this area waiting for drivers coming from the city. Met up and overheard one specific officer bragging in the courthouse. Slow down coming down Third Street through that area.

This is a double "whammy". Stop signs posted @ every other street as this is a cut thru to Greenville Loop Rd.Limit is twenty five(Residential)Don’t speed and definitely Stop. Police sit on side street @ Stop locations. Will ticket.no warnings.Avoid if possible.
