Charlottesville, Virginia Speed Traps

East High Street, northbound, downhill between the Martha Jefferson Hospital and the Joy Food Store. The cops hope people don’t ride their brakes to maintain the 25 mph speed limit.

I drive from Richmond to Charlottesville frequently, and it seems like every time I get to the "Charlottesville, 7 mi." sign, there is a state trooper with someone pulled over.

This is a 25mph zone and police like to sit at a variety of locations between the Fry’s Spring parking lot at the corner with JPA, and the hidden up the driveway hill just south of the first stop sign.

This stretch of road was 2 lane and 45 mph, it’s now a 5 lane, 35 mph and the police work this on a regular basis. Normally early in the morning they are just west of Albemarle HS in a subdivision driveway. In the afternoon just past Century Telephone building…but beware, they hide in almost every available spot.

In an empty parking lot across from the Boar’s Head Inn. Coming down 250 eastbound hill after the Volvo dealership, the speed limit changed from 55 mph to 45 mph… there are a lot of trees, the cops sit in an old parking lot about 1/10 mile before the Boar’s Head Inn turn off.
