Jamestown Rd. at the Lake Powell Bridge

Williamsburg, VirginiaFeb 26, 20180 Comments

The posted speed limit heading south from Williamsburg is 35mph. The road is narrow, rolling, without shoulders. The posted speed limit along this stretch is a good idea. However, just before one gets to the Lake Powell bridge there is a hill that descends to the level of the lake. It is almost impossible to keep under the limit on this hill unless you ride your brakes. It is here that the cops wait. They will be on the right or at the entrance of a development on the left. The reason for their being here really makes little sense from a safety stand point because the speed limit immediately increases to 45 on the other side of the bridge. This is not an area where there are pedestrians or even cars pulling out from side streets. I know this road well and have become very careful. I’ve seen many, many cars pulled over. I’m of the opinion that this is a revenue generating tactic.
