Chesapeake, Virginia Speed Traps

Police will sit at the library or middle school parking lots. Speeds change at the library from 35 to 25 during school in/out hours. Near the Masonic Lodge speed again changes from 35 to 25.

As you drive down Volvo Pkwy towards Eden Way, from Kempsville Road, they sit at the bottom of the other side of the little hill after the Fairways Reach light. The speed limit drops from 45 to 35 just after that light, though most people ignore that. You can’t see them until you come over the top of the hill and by then they’ve got you.

It’s a residential street and they just sit all day in private driveways waiting for speeders. Limit is 25 and you will get ticketed doing 29 and above.

Police will park on Seaforth Road and scan toward Docklanding Road. As you turn the bend on Coffman toward Portsmouth Blvd you get caught. Posted is 25 but most will drive at 35 or more. I was caught once, wife caught 2 times in one year.

At the corner of Fentress Road and Fentress Loop, Chesapeake police are waiting for motorists that on their way to/from work or taking kids to school. This is a residential area with speed limit of 25. The area they sit and wait is an area that the road widens (opens) and the speed limit should be greater than 25. Be careful because they are waiting.
