Speed Camera At Chesterbrook?

[Anonymous]

Why is there a speed camera at Chesterbrook Elementary? I thought they were not allowed in VA? Only DC and MD.

Is it ticketing or merely telling you your speed?

This was published a while back, they are allowed by the law. I think there are 5 schools with them.

Excellent idea. Is there one at Langley HS yet? Or McLean HS?

I would like to see cameras all along Westmoreland from Longfellow to Mclean. This afternoon a driver passed me in the left turning lane going over 50 mph as they approached the Mclean HS school zone. I see drivers routinely blow through the crosswalks while kids are still in them.

Fairfax City has had speed cameras by its schools for at least a year. Virginia changed the law.

I would like to see a lot of speed humps along Westmoreland starting from Chain Bridge/Westmoreland and pass Haycock ES. That will cover Haycock, Long Fellow, and Mclean HS. This is in addition to speed cameras.

They need one at Spring Hill Elem. People are going 50 in a 25mph school zone.

do you have a radar gun? It’s amazing to me all the public citizens without radar who can tell out her cars speeds. Without speeding themselves of course..

there also needs to be a blinking light crosswalk near where you cross for Kent gardens.

The Chesterbrook camera doesn’t seem to be on or working. Also, why are the speed signs that are capable of flashing during school hours never “flash” ?

They should be near all the schools. Yes, one near Langley would be great. But I would be happy if the county would put a damn crosswalk across Georgetown Pike. Tons of kids who walk to school take their lives in their hands just to get there.

Does the camera get cars going both ways? Or just passing one direction?

Report it to FCDOT/VDOT. The school zone speed limit signs near me all flash.
