Chesapeake, Virginia Speed Traps

A cop will sit in one of the many auto dealerships along this section of Military Hwy. They blend right in!

As soon as you get off at the Greenbrier Parkway Exit SOUTH (after heading east on RT 64) and you go over Rt64 there is a small island where the local police likes to hide. As you’re coming over RT 64 the trap will be to your immediate right as you come over the hill…if you’re getting off Rt 64 (going West) at the Greenbrier Parkway Exit South, the trap will be to your left as you approach the "yield" sign. The speed limit on this 6 lane parkway is 45MPH…obviously a great revenue maker for the town of Chesapeake.

They like to sit either either behind the Hess station at the corner of Churchland Blvd and Western Branch Blvd. (also known as Route 17). They also sit in the hotel parking lots across from the Hess. The speed limit is 35 and will usually pull you for antyhing over 40. They are very strick and I see people pulled over almost daily.

Hiding in parking lots on Kempsville Rd. South of Volvo Pkwy.

Usually seen early in the morning while it is still dark outside. The patrol car sits at the end of Bridgefield Blvd facing east (away from the 168 overpass). The speed limit changes nearby from 45 MPH down to 35 MPH thus setting you up.

Later on in the day the patrol car car be seen just before a small bridge nearby facing west (towards to overpass) thus getting you coming home.

Both areas (within about 1/4 of a mile of each other) are within that 35 MPH zone and are hidden by a couple of turns and vegetation.

The police cars are not there every day but seem to appear for a few days every month perhaps coinciding with the officer’s shift schedule.
