Interstate 85 near State Highway 58
The first twenty miles or so of Interstate 85 as you go into Virginia from North Carolina has strict speed enforcement by the Highway Patrol. I have family that live in South Hill and for all my life it’s been a well known fact not to speed in this area. Well, being a dummy, I was travelling south in 85 at this location and got popped at 75 mph in a 65 mph zone. I know I was in the wrong. The trooper told me his allowance for speed was 5 mph over the limit. That’s it. He also said he had to come from 75 miles away to work that area that day, as a part the Governor’s task force. He was parked in the wide open in the mediun. So listen to the voice of expeience and slow down in that area.
