City of Newark Reminds Motorists of Automated Speed Enforcement Locations
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
- Casho Mill Road, both directions, between Bent Lane and Church Road
- Barksdale Road, both directions, between King William Street and Apple Road
- Woodlawn Avenue, both directions, between Capitol Trail and Poplar Avenue
- West Park Place, both directions, between South College Avenue and South Main Street
- West Chestnut Hill Road, eastbound, between Cobblefield Drive and Delgrove Avenue
- West Chestnut Hill Road, eastbound, between Delgrove Avenue and South College Avenue
- West Chestnut Hill Road, westbound, between South College Avenue and Art Lane
- South College Avenue, both directions, between Holton Place and East Park Place
- Hillside Road, both directions, between Sypherd Drive and West Main Street
- West Cleveland Avenue, westbound, between North College Avenue and New London Road
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.
