Newport News, Virginia Speed Traps

This speed trap is located on Fort Eustis Boulevard (VA-105) in between Jefferson Avenue (VA-143) and Warwick Boulevard (US-60). If you are traveling west on Fort Eustis Blvd. (towards Fort Eustis), there is a motorcycle cop that sits beneath the Warwick Blvd. overpass in the morning trying to catch motorists who drift over the 45 mph speed limit on their way to work. Cops hide out in a couple of places along this small stretch of road, and catch people on their way to and from the Army base, but this motorcycle guy is pretty consistent with his time and location (you won�t see him when the weather gets cold though). The 45 mph speed limit is reasonable for this road, but it�s a strait four-lane road and it�s easy to get going 50 � 55 mph if you aren�t paying attention. What really bothers me is that 95% of the people traveling on this road are the men and women of our US armed forces on their way to and from their jobs. To specifically target these people on a road where it is easy to drift over the posted speed limit seems very unjust and disrespectfull.

This part of Beech dr is at the end near dresden dr newport news police will sit parked either in between two(2)parked cars or in front of one and you will not see him until you get up on him this part of the road is 25mph and he gets people everytime i go through this area also,almost every point of dresden during anytime they set up checkpoints

Hilton Village is where the Newport News police like to set up and catch people coming out of the 35mph zones on their way to and from the shipyard. They set up in the 7-11 and the Bank of America parking lots, and you’ll often see a motorcycle cop sitting on Main Street.

State highway goes from 45 mph to 25 mph. The officer that stopped me said there were signs posted for 25 mph, however, I do not recall seeing them. I did see a sign warning "Reduce speed ahead", but these signs were frequent in the area and usually meant it dropped to 35 mph. I was caught on RADAR as I came around a bend in the road. While the officer’s demeanor was fine, he said the area was a high enforcement zone and that two other officers were working it with him. I feel it is high enforcement area because it is not well marked and most other State Rtes. are not 25 mph zone.

Police will set off Warwick Blvd. on this side street waiting on Shipyard workers heading to work. You can’t see them until you get right up on them. Bushes & trees hide the street from the highway.
