Occoquan, Virginia Speed Traps

Vehicles marked “Occoquan Police” lay in wait along Rt 123 near the Occoquan River bridge to catch any speeders in either direction along busy Rt 123, notwithstanding that only 300m of the road are physically in that jurisdiction and only one traffic signal-controlled road, Commerce Street, actually intersects Rt 123 and allows access from the town of Occoquan to Rt 123. The Occoquan police lay in wait adjacent to that intersection or along Rt 123, and occasionally even across the Occoquan river where deceleration (unmarked) goes from 55mph to 40mph as it crosses the bridge and nears the Commerce Street traffic signal.

Rt 123 going south just past Occoquan Regional Park goes down a steep hill before the bridge over the Occoquan River. Rd is 3 lanes wide & at top of hill speed limit sign of 55. There is no reduced speed ahead sign before passing a smaller speed limit sign of 35 that’s easy to miss.
Near the bottom of hill is a pull over area where the cops sit with radar and have people pull over from the right lane. Cars going by in center or left lane can’t pull over as it’s too dangerous to have them do so.

Fairfax County Police operate a speedtrap southbound. Road is posted 35 MPH, Construction Zone, approaching the bridge across the Occoquan River into Prince William County.
