Chesapeake, Virginia Speed Traps
I-64 between N Battlefield Blvd and Indian River Rd
Frequent State Police at two turnarounds.
Occasional State Police motorcycle stopped and doing radar.
Occasional State Police presence on long ramp to “eastbound” Battlefield exits
State Police vehicle apparently solely dedicated to truck enforcement many mornings.
Unmarked State Police – white Ford Fusion running in traffic!
Coming Off 168 Freeway at Kempsville Road
I came off the freeway and got into an immediate school district and of course I was doing 41 as I came off, and the speed trap catches you immediately as you get off the freeway. Beware the camera catches you before you can slow down at the light where the school is, you do not have enough time to slow down as you come off the freeway to not trigger the camera. It’s for sure a speed trap. Granted we want to keep our kids safe, but this is ridiculous. Even if you slow down a 2-3 seconds later, the camera already gets you as you come off the freeway into oncoming traffic.
Between exit 288 and exit 289 west bound
Trooper sits right next to guardrail. U won’t see him cause car isn’t running and doesn’t have lights on at all. He’ll wait until your almost to exit 289 before he turns his driving lights or his flashers on before he pulls you over. And he doesn’t give out warnings
George Washington HWY & Canal DR
Called “the Gauntlet ” Runs from city limit sign to Gilmerton Rd. They hide out of view in private parking lots.
Gilmerton Bridge
They sit in middle of S. Military Hwy in the turning lane before sunrise with all the lights off on both sides (south & north bound) of the bridge. You can’t see them until you reach the top of the bridge. Not only is it a speed trap but also a public safety issue.
