State Road 40 entering from Blackstone
The stated speed limit just out of town is 55 MPH which is then only marked with one 45 MPH before you get to a 35mph sign into Kenbridge. You automatically get a 60MPH ticket once you see the 35MPH sign if you miss the 45MPH sighn as the officer sits at Heathloin Street (near North Broad Street and North Ciricle Blvd). Officers issue no warnings and it doesn’t matter if you are a member of any National or Virginia Police Associations, etc. You will get a $151.00 ticket. The District Court phone-in line does not have voicemail; therefore, you will have to call and call the following Monday – if you were charged with a ticket over the weekend and then you maybe get a court clerk in the afternoon. This speed trap is well known (and to me personally now) as per people in Victoria, Crewe, Blackstone, etc. This is an anti-business and oppressive, if not preditory, practive by local law inforcement officials. This is perhaps why people do not go back to Kenbridge. It is a shame as the countryside and people in this area are very nice.
