(Wilmington, DE 19808) The New Castle County Police Department will implement automated speed enforcement along Milltown Road, from McKennans Church Road to Duncan Road, and along McKennans Church Road, from Milltown Road to Bardell Drive, to enhance traffic safety in these residential areas.

As part of this initiative:

• “Photo Enforced” signs will be placed alongside speed limit signs to alert motorists that automated enforcement is active.

• Beginning April 15, 2026, the system will begin monitoring speeds. A 30-day warning period will follow activation, during which drivers traveling 6 MPH or more over the speed limit will receive a warning.

• After the warning period, civil violations will be issued to drivers exceeding the speed limit by 6 MPH or more. These violations are civil penalties and do not result in points on a driver’s record or affect insurance rates.

• The automated speed enforcement units are mobile and may be repositioned at various locations within the designated residential enforcement zone along Milltown Road and McKennans Church Road.

This enforcement follows the passage of state legislation, including Senate Bill 200 of the 153rd Delaware General Assembly, Section 137, which authorizes automated speed enforcement for speeds of 6 miles per hour or more in response to residents’ ongoing concerns about speeding on Milltown Road and McKennans Church Road.

New Castle County does not collect revenue generated from these violations.

The New Castle County Police Department encourages all motorists to obey posted speed limits and drive safely to protect residents and all roadway users.
