Speed Traps, Radar Traps, Photo Radar Overview
Radar detectors and laser detectors are illegal to use in Newfoundland. The Mounties who enforce the highway laws here don’t wear their red serge uniforms on the road, but rather the typical blue of other police forces. They still drive the huge new looking (bubbles type) 4 door american sedans and some have the hidden lights (grille and rear window)
SPECIAL WARNING: It’s a regular occurrence for someone hit a moose on the highway. Most front seat occupants who hit a moose at highway speeds do not live to tell about it (especially if not wearing a seatbelt). Speeding (especially at night) on open highway is not advisable under any circumstances. You just need to pass one car in a ditch or a junkyard that “lost a fight with a moose,” you’ll know why.
