All of HWY 58 from South Hill to Suffolk is heavily patrolled by SHP, local police and county deputies. Emporia is among the worst. I've seen Emporia PD in the median on I-95 positioned where it was actually dangerous for them and passing motorists. HWY 58 is the last road in VA you want to speed on.

Everyone I know has gotten a speeding ticket in this area! I suggest Emporia/Greenville county just install toll booths at the county line as traffic fines seem to be their primary source of revenue. That way the officers won't be exposed to the dangers of constantly standing on the roadside and inevitable carpal tunnel syndrome from writing all those tickets. Also the officers can focus on REAL crime (like public entrapment for example) and traffic court judges and staff can remind their families what they look like! Why should our car insurance companies reap the benefit of our increased premiums when Emporia can keep the money for themselves?!
