Yardley, Pennsylvania Speed Traps

When you turn off of Oxford Valley Road onto Big Oak Road, the speed limit is 45 mph. However once you cross the train tracks onto Township Line Road, the speed limit drops to 35 mph until it intersects with Langhorne-Yardley Road, at which point the speed limit becomes 45 mph again. Lower Makefield police like to sit on their side of the road (going North), usually right over the crest of the hill near Brookstone and pull people over as they’re coming downhill. The activity really ramps up in Spring and Summer. By mid summer it’s not uncommon to see 2 or 3 squad cars sitting on the Lower Makefield side of the road just funneling people through. Never seen Middletown PD doing the same going the opposite direction though.

Police watch for rolling stop sign and speeds over 25 – neighborhood is very determined to slow traffic down on street. Police park on Cherry facing West Ferry and traveling to the east, you won’t see them until you have gone through the three-way intersection.

They clock cars on North Delaware Ave. between Maple Ave. and Brown Ave. North Delaware Ave. aka River Rd. The speed trap is just north of the Yardley Inn.

Yardley Police sit in the parking lot of the American Legion or the Kids Academy. They clock cars using acutrak with the white lines which are right in front of Yardley Commons. Be careful when driving into town from Yardley-Morrisviile Rd.

Yardley Borough Police use acutrak and they have their lines on North Main Street just south of Dolington Rd. be careful because the speed limit goes from 40 to 25 and that is were they get you.
