Arlington, Virginia Speed Traps

Technically not a speed trap, but sneaky and by-the-book all the same. Driving on 7th Road (not Street) South arriving at South Carlin Springs Road intersection, there is a traffic light and a sign that says "No Right Turn On Red 7AM-7PM." If you take a right turn on red during the day there is often a cop positioned in the school entrance drive a little ways down the hill, and he/she will getcha.

Between Washington & Wilson the police are on the right hand side going south on North George Mason before the overpass over Rte66.

Arlington and Virginia State Police park at the end of the ramp, on the left side, behind trees/shrubs. I see them frequently during the evening rush hour, although they could be there at other times as well. They must be citing drivers for excess speed on the exit ramp. It’s a long, straight, uphill ramp and it is easy to maintain a good percentage of the exiting highway speed, and I see a lot of cars pulled over by the police.

Right after you drive under Glebe Road, a trap is on the right on the ramp. There’s a tree and bushes, but if u turn your head, you should see a car there. Usually during non-rush hours on weekdays. The road goes downhill under the bridge, so the speed is likely to increase. The posted limit is 45 mph. I was cited for 49 mph

at the base of the hill right by the entrance to Long Branch Nature Center.
