Van Dorn Street near Kenmore Avenue

Alexandria, VirginiaJun 10, 20050 Comments

About halfway between Kenmore and Sanger Aves there is a hill with parking cuts along the north/eastbound side. Since Van Dorn St parallels I-395 on this stretch there is no cross traffic and cars turning out of the apartment complexes on the opposite side are clearly visible from a distance. The usual traffic speed is between 40 and 50 mph; the speed limit is 35. Motorcycle cops, sometimes four or five at a time like to hide out in the parking cuts behind parked cars and pick off people traveling in either direction. They seem to primarily target the most egregious offenders – those going over 50 mph. The only time I have seen regular enforcement going on is between midday and early afternoon.
