Default New Radar Trap on 495

Everybody should of course abide by the speed limit and local laws, but I post this up here anyways because people should always be aware of their tax dollars at work.

I have noticed that Fairfax County Police has been unusally vigilant on 495 right at the interchange for 193 (aka Great Falls/Langley exit by the American Legion Bridge).

As I went through the area one cruiser had a car pulled over on the Inner Loop before the interchange, and another cruiser had a pickup truck pulled over on the on-ramp leading onto the Outer Loop. Then tonite as I went thru the interchange, a Virginia State Police cruiser merged onto the Outer Loop from the on-ramp. Usually the cops always sit by a state line regardless of which state you're in, however FFX typically hasn't been paying attention to that area before this weekend. Looks like they are remedying that inattention.

Be safe out there everybody.

It's a holiday weekend. 'nuff said.

Cops are everywhere, unusually heavily, on this weekend--every year. Lots of revenue brought in by the tickets written on holiday weekends, I would imagine.
