Lee Bridge (US Hwy 1) crossing James River
Going Southbound, cops either wait on the on-ramp to the bridge from Oregon Hill (last neighborhood facing the River on the north side) or wait at the end of the bridge. Lee Bridge is built just like an interstate highway complete with highway type signage, jersey barriers and shoulders so even the cops and the city buses break the 40mph speed limit!
Going Northbound, the cops wait in the parking lot entrance to either the War Memorial or the HUD building next to the memorial. A tempting traffic light encourages speeding as well.

I can verify this is still a speed trap! Was heading from VCU to Southside across the Lee Bridge, going the speed of traffic but I guess it was just my unlucky day and got pulled over after crossing the bridge. Motorcycle-police speed trap was parked in the lot between Stonewall Ave and Springhill Ave.
Also if you see headlights flashing here SLOW DOWN, it might be another motorist telling you there's a speed trap ahead. I also know a couple cops who will sometimes flash their own headlights to give speeders a last-chance to slow down before deciding if it's worth it to pull them over.
