Jamestown Road, (Route 31)
The speed limit only two years ago was 55. It has just recently been posted at 35. That’s a drop of 20 MPH and if your caught going the old speed limit of 55 the fine is $100.00 and you are charged with reckless driving. That’s 6 points against your driving record. For something that was legal just a short tome ago. This road also has just been widened, so why was the speed limit reduced? Virginia is in the midst of repealing personal property tax, the car tax. This is a form of revenue-replacement, plain and simple! The trap is located at the top of a blind uphill curve just after passing the lake. (Lake Powell) The officer sits with instant-on radar back in the shadows of a private businesses driveway. At 6:00 AM in the morning it’s still dark and you can’t see him. Coming from the other direction he is covered by a 7 Fort privacy fence which lines the driveway of the private business. An excellent speed trap location. I have traveled to work using this road every day. At least once a week I see someone pulled over by the cop. That’s $$$ in the bank…..and totally wrong!
