Parkersburg, West Virginia Speed Traps
23rd Street near City Park Way
They almost always radar down by the city park, sitting in the cemetary or thereabouts down by the park, speed limit is 25, people oftwen excede it there
College Parkway near Lakeview Avenue
They sit in the parking lot of the condos, just after the turns when you are heading into the straight stretch. The speed limit is 25 mph, but it is where the speed limit changes to 40mph. They are getting the people who speed up before the 40mph sign, and they are getting people who don’t slow down before they hit the 25mph sign…I was one of them…got me slowing down doing 32 in 25.

State Route 47 near Staunton Avenue
They have changed the road all around in the last 3-4 years with the new Rt 50 going in. When coming towards Parkersburg on Rt 47, after passing the underpass ( Rt 50), the speed suddenly drops from 40 to 25! there is a sign but not that visible and the police are almost Always there (usually on the left side of the road, either where the public fishing access is or in the parking lot right past it where the old plant is).
