The Virginia Street exit off of Ohio SR-7 has on occasion been a place where Ohio Highway Patrol like to catch motorists for speed violations and fining or warnings. Virginia St. connects directly to Ohio SR-550 in an underpass that is also an exit/on-ramp for OH-7. The nature of Virginia St. and its being a thoroughfare for the Harmar side of Marietta can compensate for a higher speed of traffic than posted. Yet, the portion of Virginia St. between OH-550 and just under the exit is 35 MPH. HOWEVER: If not paying close attention, you’ll miss the rapid change in the posted speed to 25 MPH (just on the other side of the exit’s underpass), as most or all other streets in the city are. Factoring in that OSHP may be waiting, it certainly (at times) can be a trap.
