South Charleston, West Virginia Speed Traps

will be in the middle of road on Mccorkell ave at bottom of hill next to Speed way store,, AND YOUR WELCOME…

So Charleston city police have given tickets when people do not come to complete stops at stop signs – usually 4-way signs but also 2-way; does not matter if you are a city resident or not. While it has not yet happened to me, it happened to both my sister and, later on in 2008, to her husband. I see police cars with people stopped all the time. Beware.

The area between the Montrose Exit and Patrick Street Bridge is where I have been pulled over along with many others. If headed towards the Patrick street bridge, officers may be in the Avalon Animal Hospital Parking lot or on the small passageway between the train tracks and the main road. Heading towards the Montrose Exit, they’re almost always parked in front of the chemical plant.

I haven’t seen many pulled over here. I’m posting from myself getting caught here. South Charleston PD will park under the bridge underpass late at night so their cars cannot be seen until the last minute. Seeing the cars are mostly black with a little white they blend into the darkness very well. Be careful.

They have the new laser out that is undetectable by the laser detectors. I have seen many people getting pulled over in this area.
