Capon Bridge, West Virginia Speed Traps

The 2 Capon Bridge town cops sit either in the firehouse parking lot or right at the bridge crossing the Capon River in the town of Capon Bridge. The one in the white car will write a ticket with no exceptions, the one in the green car is fairly flexible. The limit is 35mph, and Capon Bridge is SMALL! so go the speed limit through town.

They are working on the bridge in town. They have tow reds light, one each side of the bridge due to one lane of traffic. The toen cop sets up at the fire hall and times the light and see who runs the red light on the other side. I’v heard of people paying close to $200 for doing that, plus they add on speeding because who have to beat the other light.

A long straight stretch through Capon Bridge nestled between two steep grades. Speed limit is 25, but is probably a LOT safer at 35. No matter. Cops sit at one end or the other running radar. They seem to be personally friendly, but I’ve heard they’ll ticket you in a minute. They seem to LOVE out-of-towners. Keep your radar detector handy, obey it’s every warning, and all you should get is a friendly wave from the officer as you pass through.
