Officers from the VA State Police, Henrico County and Richmond City are on a ticket-writing blitz. I-95 from Parham Road to Bells Road (about fifteen miles of the road) has been declared a "highway safety corridor" as of January 7th, 2005. Fines will be as high as $500 for speeding and $2500 for DUI or reckless operation! The speed limit is posted (too low) at 55 mph — and they really are enforcing it. To be fair, however, it has been put out across the media and signs are posted as a warning to all. This action comes as a result of an unusually high number of crashes in recent months. Speed is not always the culprit, however, as most people here just can’t drive very well. 🙁 Too bad they are not ticketing "left lane hogs" or people who do not use their signals when making lane changes.
