They seem to have a combined worth of 25 XP for each PC, assuming a party of 4 or 5.   The devs have talked about how traps will work differently in this edition, but I have yet to see any evidence of that.

There some trap-like situations in other areas including webs and an unusual fungus.   As befits the starter set these are all very simple. I expect to see more interesting traps in the DMG and maybe in Tyranny of Dragons too.
