LEWES, Del., – The Delaware Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Delaware State Police, announced that the Electronic Speed Safety Program (ESSP) is now active on southbound Route 1 in the Minos Conaway Road Grade-Separated Intersection work zone in Lewes.
Signage and radar speed signs have been installed to alert drivers.
Officials said the first 21 days will be a warning period with no violations issued. Starting Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, registered vehicle owners will face a base violation of $20 for a first offense, with additional amounts added for each mile per hour over the 50 mph work zone speed limit, in accordance with Delaware Code §4169(c). For example, a recorded speed of 61 mph would result in a $20 base violation plus $11 for the 11 mph over the limit, along with applicable fees, totaling $118. Subsequent offenses carry higher civil penalties. No points will be assessed to drivers’ licenses.
