Virginia Street near Exit Number Virginia Street

Charleston, West VirginiaJul 21, 20051 Comments

The Virginia Street exit feeds off of I-64 East which has a posted limit of 65 mph. You must maintain this speed or risk being rear-ended as another exit feeds onto I-64 as you are exiting. About 15 feet from the ramp a 30 mph sign is posted on a pole on a small bridge -less than half a blcok away officers are either hiding in their cars on a side street across from the Wendys or actually stand in the far right land in the middle of the day with the radar gun pointed at traffic. I was pulled over at 10:30 at night and was the only car on the road. I am aware of tickets being issued at all times during the day and the Charleston paper ran an article in the last few weeks where the city bragged about the increased level of enorcement.

Comments:
The posted speed limit up on I-64 is 60mph, not 65, but anyway exit ramps are for slowing down, not maintaining Interstate speeds. That said, yes; as you come over the Virginia Street Bridge, which is of the humped variety, they are sitting just down the street on the left, partially hidden behind some landscaping bushes. You will see them IF you know where to look, but between the humped bridge and those bushes, it's a speed trap.
