Newark Police Traffic Alert – Due to a crash at Elkton Road and Thorn Lane, the roadway is shut down.

Avoid the area and expect delays.

The City of Newark reminds motorists that automated speed enforcement cameras are active within the city and may be deployed at different approved locations.

This reminder is especially important for anyone who is new to Newark, including incoming University of Delaware students, families, visitors, and others who may be unfamiliar with local roadways. Drivers are encouraged to pay close attention to posted speed limits and be aware that the mobile camera unit may be moved among the following pre-approved locations:

• Capitol Trail, both directions, between city limits and Cleveland Avenue
• Paper Mill Road, southbound, between Wyncliff Lane and Old Paper Mill Road
• Nottingham Road, eastbound, between Farmhouse Drive and Casho Mill Road
• New London Road, both directions, between city limits and Country Club Drive
• West Main Street, both directions, between West Cleveland Avenue and Bent Lane

• Hillside Road, both directions, between Sypherd Drive and West Main Street

The goal of the automated speed enforcement program is compliance, not citations. The City wants drivers to slow down, obey posted speed limits, and help keep Newark’s roads safe for residents, pedestrians, bicyclists, students, and visitors.

Violations issued through the automated system are civil penalties. They do not add points to a driver’s license and will not impact insurance rates.

Please drive slowly, stay alert, and travel safely through Newark.
