Chesapeake, Virginia Speed Traps

Moses Grandy Trail is a new four lane highway running between George Washington Highway and Cedar Road. The posted speed limit is 45 mph however, it is a straight wooded stretch and easy to assume the speed limit is at least 55 mph. The cops love to sit in a subdivision about halfway down this road and if you’re over the posted speed limit you’re a sitting duck!

As you come off of I64 going toward Greenbrier mall, at the bottom of the hill there is cop that sits either on the right or the leFort You cannot see him at night. In the daytime you cannot see him til you get to the bottom of the hill.

Police sit at Jolliff Middle School and the overpass for the interstate. If you are speeding when you come over the overpass it’s too late. They patrol very frequently. It is common for them to sit for long periods of time. They often park off the road in the school parking lot. The posted speed limit is 35 mph.

As you are coming off 64 East onto Greenbrier Pkwy, the cop will sit in the grassy area by where the westbound cars are coming off the highway. The speed limit is 45, but you would have just exited the interstate and are coming downhill. It is too easy to go too fast, and they are there ready and waiting for you!

On the 168 expressway,the last exit before the toll, the will be what seems to be a car broken down in the median. It is actually a Cheseapeake Police officer with a radar gun. He is gunning cars down as they are on their way down to the Outer Banks. As they fly by he will radio ahead to about 15-20 marked cars on the on ramp ahead to get them as they fly by. This normally happens Friday afternoons, especially Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend and when they have big events going on down in the outer banks that bring a lot of tourist for the weekends. Watch Out!
