Chippenham Parkway near State Route 76 Powhite Pkwy

Richmond City, VirginiaMar 19, 20052 Comments

This trap usually is set up during the mid-day hours with both marked and unmarked Richmond City Police Department vehicles. They hide in the median just after the Forest Hill overpass on the northbound side, and on the right-hand shoulder just beyond the Huguenot Rd overpass on the southbound side of Chippenham.

The posted limit on this divided highway is 45 mph, but general traffic flow is 55 to 60 most anytime day or night. Enforcement is not excessive, but they are out there. Most will give you about 10 mph over, but that is about it.

I have gone past a marked car going 57 and was not pulled. {Whew!} I feel it my civic duty to warn everyone else to slow down through there. 🙂

Actually, I wish this was enforced even more than it is. Granted, the speed limit changes on Chippenham are a pain in the neck, but, Chippenham is unfortunately used as a race course, with motorists driving WELL in excess of the posted sped limits. I'll drive at 60 mph, and vehicles will pass me like I'm standing still.

I shouldn't say this but what you're saying is I'm okay to speed but you're not because I'm speeding slower then you!?? Are you a government employee ?
