Suffolk, Virginia Speed Traps
Crittenden Road – Between Rt. 17 & King’s Highway
Crittenden Road is a 5 mi. road connecting Rt. 17 by Smithfield Gardens Nursery and Cedar Point to the other end of King’s Highway in Chuckatuck (N. Suffolk). This road has two village areas – Sandy Bottom and Hobson – of 35 mph zone and the rest is pretty much 55 mph. Suffolk police frequently camp out anywhere on this road, but especially in and around the two villages. Don’t chance it! I take this road daily to work. Stick to the speed limit signs.

Coming into Suffolk where 60mph drops to 45mph
Route 60, road curves to the left. Cop sits off to right where you can’t see them and then jumps out like he’s going to hit you hoping you will speed up and then he’s got you. But believe me, you do not even have to be speeding.
Carolina Rd & Copeland Rd
There is a Suffolk Police Car with a officer in it. IF you coming from north carolina there a right curve which is the last right curve and there a little vacant lot with bushes and open space, he will sit on the bushes waiting for speeders. SPeed limit is 55mph and i cruised 60mph passed him and didnt bother me. Watch out because im uncertain of the level of enforcement
State Highway King’s Highway, 125 near Small town of Driver
Along King’s Highway in the small town of Driver within Suffolk City, the speed limit was recently decreased from 30 MPH to 25 MPH without warning of the decrease. Speed Bumps were also recently added as you merge from the 45 MPH Nansemond Parkway onto King’s Highway toward Driver. Suffolk City Police are regularly seen sitting on the right or left in the parking lots or along the street (hidden) among the local businesses. There is little room to decelerate to 25 MPH once you merge onto King’s Highway (125). Be careful!
