11000 Providence Rd. West

Richmond, VirginiaSep 29, 20100 Comments

Going west on Providence Rd. from the intersection at Courthouse Rd. the speed limit is 25 mph.
From the intersection going west is dense housing for a half mile with two 25 mph speed limit signs in that area. Then the road is in open and unpopulated with no speed limit signs for about a half mile leading you to think the speed limit is lifted and now unnecessary. You ascend a grade and at the top of the hill is a small sign signifying an elementary school (with no speed limit warning). Especially on weekends you let down your guard about the school. On the other side of the hill in front of the school is usually a Chesterfield County Squad car on the left scanning you with radar as you top the hill. You will normally be going 35 to 40 mph. On the weekends pickings are easy for strangers. All homeowners in the area are aware of the speed trap. It cost me $212 and I was definitely in no hurry – just to help out a friend that Saturday.

4800 Block of Patterson Ave

I live on the 4700 block of Patterson Ave, a four-lane inter-city road. About once a week, the Richmond City Police park on 4800 Patterson Ave, on the North side of the street, tucked in with the parked cars. Drivers don’t see the police car or motorcycle until after they pass it. The speed limit is 35 mph, but traffic usually flows at about 45 mph. Because it is about a mile between the traffic lights at Patterson and Willow Lawn Drive and Patterson and Westmorland, it is easy for drivers to find themselves well over the speed limit.

In front of Dumbarton Elementry School

Henrico police sit in one of the entrance ramps to the elementry school. They pull up beside the school sign, which is near the road, and monitor the traffic that is coming from the direction of Hermitage High School. The school sign completely sheilds the police cruiser. The speed limit is 35mph during normal hours, but because of the two schools the speed limit changes to 25mph twice a day.
