Henrietta Creek Rd between Independence and Hwy 377
Henrietta Creek Rd isn’t really a speed trap, it’s a legal shakedown racket enforced by the Roanoke police. Yes, the 30-mph speed limit is strictly enforced, but the harassment goes beyond speeders. In the last three months, I’ve gotten two tickets, one for having one burnt license plate light bulb, and one for not using my turn signal (at 1 AM with no traffic). Have since learned that dozens of my co-workers have been ticketed for similar, absurd technical offenses. As Roanoke doesn’t make money with warnings, I have never heard of anyone receiving one, only tickets. Be especially careful of where Henrietta Creek intersects Hwy 377. The police hide there and wait for people to make simple, technical mistakes, such as not using your turn signal.
