Photo radar from unmarked civilan version Ford Crown Victorias (not police package vehicles - they lack police radio antennas and some of them have aluminum mag wheels). The vehicles have a box-shaped radar antenna on the front bumper, next to a single Hella driving/fog lamp that has been retrofitted with a flash bulb inside. Vehicles traveling more than 11 MPH above the posted limit are photographed. See http://mpdc.dc.gov/info/traffic/ speedlocation_map.shtm for a listing of potential locations. These units seem to snap photos approximately once every 20 seconds on a moderately traveled street.

Hundreds of innocent motorist are being targeted. The speed limit is 50mph (which you will experience road rage from other drivers for doing). I work near this exit and my co-workers and I make sure that we go between 40 -45mph, yet we still received tickets in the mail. Beware motorist!!

Unmarked Ford Crown Vics in metallic blue, gold, white, red or black. Always sit on right hand shoulder of road (N bound in evening, and S bound in morning). Vehicles give impression that they are unattended. Also, vehicles may have flashers on to give appearance of being disabled or they may have several orange road cones placed in front to act like they are providing a safety for a road crew. As of 28 FEB 02, have noticed flourescent orange stripe marking spots where front of tires on photo car are placed when they are in their optimized camera position. If car is not at spot, they soon will be.

http://www.mpdc.org/English/programsandservices/AutomatedEnforcement/ speed /speed_locations.htm http://www.mpdc.org/English/programsandservices/AutomatedEnforcement/ speed /speed_locations.htm This is apparently a government vehicle with photo radar equipment parked on the street, but unmarked. I first learned of my alleged violation when I received a $50 ticket in the mail 25 days later.

From at least 200 - 800 M Street SE. Appears to be new speed trap with possibly more than one fixed and mobile camera operating with possible intent of targeting recently transferred DON employees to the Washington Navy Yard, many of whom reside outside of the District of Columbia, in Virginia or Maryland.
