Hampton, Virginia Speed Traps
Hardy Cash Drive near Magruder Boulevard
There’s a section of Hardy Cash Dr. coming from Magruder Blvd, it that cuts through a small residential area among all the businesses. Apparently law enforcement noticed people use it to cut through to Coliseum Drive and there’s usually a patrol car monitoring speed from one of the side streets. The speed limit there is 25mph, while the rest surrounding area is 35-45mph, so pay attention and be careful! This is where I got my very first speeding ticket for driving at a whooping 31mph… 🙁
Eastbound Mercury Boulevard near LaSalle Avenue
East bound on Mercury Blvd. patrol sits on east side of LaSalle Ave. overpass, hidden from view by burm for overpass. Speed limit is 45mph but no one does less than 50 and quite often much more. Hampton PD loves this spot.
