Pop people who come over the edge on this downhill turn. Speed Limits are 25 but area is largely rural and most people do 35-40. The work this usually in the Morning and evening to catch commuters since this road is access to a few housing developments.

Comment (10/2007): I was claimed to be making 52 over Otey St. where it clearly states 25 is the speed limit, yet a much smaller sign not 300 feet from the 25MPH sign says 15MPH.

Coming down the hill out of Foxridge apartments. Sit in the Food Time lot or when using motorcycles will sit back under the trees. Speed limit is 25 but most go over that. They will pull you for anything more than 5mph over. They work this spot to catch students on the way out to class in the morning.

Well this guy is sitting at the Elementary School Waiting for the students of VA Tech to drive by. They won't Give Anyone a break and they'll be mean about too. If you see lights in a car and they are on that means a cop is there...Just go twenty five and stall traffic so that no one else gets ticketed by the po po.

I've traveled Prices Fork many times and they sit at the Firehouse. Most people go 50, when the speed limit is 40. Stay 9 mph or less above the limit and you'll be save. Also, they sit at the Elemtary School (alot) in the small town further away from Blacksburg where the speed reduces from 45 to 35.

I have seen two people (in addition to myself) be pulled over within about a 100 ft stretch of road. The officer said that the fast speed is especially dangerous because of the pedestrian traffic that frequently crosses the road, however the 25 mph speed limit is rarely enforced.

I've only seen it once (because once was all it took for them to catch me), but late at night, on the RIGHT side of the road (instead of the center median), immediately after the street lights are discontinued on the way out of Blacksburg (from VA Tech) on Rt. 460, going towards I-81, a cruiser sits in the dark, with all his lights off, just as the road goes into a downhill, so he can catch you speeding on the 55 MPH downhill. You stay classy, officer.

There is often a cop waiting hidden behind the trees seperating Patrick Henry Drive from the Blacksburg Aquatic Center. This is usually at night, and it's as the road begins to coast downward. The speed limit for all of Patrick Henry before it crosses Main Street is 25 mph, which no one follows.

I was going 33 in a 15 on Otey Street, but got away with a warning. It's a little ridiculous because Otey is a 15, but it is only posted once and I pulled over right next to a 25 MPH sign that was visible from where the cop turned on his lights. Basically, the cops use Otey Street as a trap because they know everyone will be thinking it is a 25.
