Bristol, Virginia Speed Traps
Interstate 81
Watch out for the Black Camaro with dark tinted windows. The car has dual antenna radar. Radar is worked in the city and on interstate with this car.
Old Airport Road near Bonham Road
Coming up Old Airport Road from Exit 7, towards Bonham road, you’ll pass the Sonic restaurant on your leFort As you go through the curve past Sonic, the Bristol PD will run radar about half a mile up the road on the leFort The speed limit is 35MPH, but I get away with 40MPH all the time. Much faster than that & they’ll probably get you.
I see them out all times of day, but heaviest during AM/PM rush hours.
Old Airport Road near Bonham Road
At the intersection of Old Airport Rd & Bonham Rd is a soccer field. As you turn up Old Airport Rd, towards King Mill Pike, the Bristol PD likes to sit in the gravel parking lot of the soccer field. They’re usually hidden by the pine trees around the lot, so you don’t see them ’till you’re past. The posted speed limit is 35MPH, but 40MPH seems fine. They mainly run radar here in the mornings.
US Highway 11 E. near Belvin’s Tire and Recapping
The BVPD will sit and hide backing towards the trees in a small gravel lot adjacent to the Rental place. The catch people going over the speed limit heading north or south bound. Regardless of speed, "officers of the law" in either side of this dual town will hide out strike. Be careful and keep an eye out in VA radar detectors are illegal.
