Arresting? Really?

Yes. Go on the 1D or 2D MPD listserv. 30+ over is an arrestable offense.

Anyone doing 65 mph down Connecticut Ave not only needs to be arrested, they need to dragged out back behind the police station and be beaten with rubber hoses until the cops can't lift their arms anymore.

I'm pretty sure CT is a 25 or 30mph zone all the way to MD. It's definitely all 25mph once you pass Cleveland Park heading south.

Most recently the cop(s) have been posted up where CT Ave comes up from Dupont circle.

Wow - if true that is great news but surprised I didn't hear it elsewhere.

Most likely they are arresting people for driving without a license which in DC is a mandatory arrest.

Camera ticket hot spots
Some of the other locations besides D.C. 295 with more than 1,000 speeding, red light or other tickets in both May and June include:

600 Block of Kenilworth Avenue NE (4,236 in June, 7,117 in May)
2200 K St. NW (2,831 westbound and 2,949 eastbound in June; 4,116 westbound and 5,020 eastbound in May)
Third Street Tunnel (2,746 in June and 5,603 in May)
100 Block of Michigan Avenue NW (2,065 in June, 3,350 in May)
2200 South Dakota Ave. NE (2,218 in June, 1,879 in May)
3900 South Dakota Ave. NE (1,918 in June, 3,745 in May)
600 New York Ave. NE (2,254 in June, 4,688 in May combined eastbound and westbound)
2800 New York Ave. NE (1,094 in June, 1,568 in May)
2900 Military Road NW (1,688 in June, 2,415 in May)
3700 Southern Ave. SE (1,620 in June, 2,849 in May)
1400 Southern Ave. SE (1,090 in June, 1,938 in May)
Stop sign camera at Fort Lincoln Drive and 31st Place NE (1,395 in June, 1,156 in May)
1900 Branch Ave. SE (1,073 in June, 1,863 in May)
4600 Massachusetts Ave. NW (1,035 in June, 1,434 in May)
5100 Loughboro Road NW (1,092 in June, 1,795 in May)
When grouped into corridors rather than just individual locations, there are large numbers of tickets along those and other major roads, including 14th Street NW, 16th Street NW, C Street NE, Connecticut Avenue NW, Constitution Avenue and North Capitol Street.


With drivers regularly failing to stop at stop signs, a camera at 27th and R streets SE racked up 1,272 tickets in May and 604 in June. At Fessenden and 44th streets NW, 662 drivers got tickets in June and 304 got tickets in May.

Wait, they have cameras that catch drivers failing to stop at stop signs? Can they install these all over the city? I almost get run over every day be people treating the stop sign near my house as a "slow down to 20mph sign"

If you make sure to always

a. check the posted speed limit signs
b. not exceed the posted speed limits by 12 mph or more

then you don't have to worry about where the speed cameras are located.

It's a financial gold mine waiting to be reaped.

Yes, so unrealistic and so many drivers still driving more than 10+ mph above the speed limit.

Gotta get to that red light as fast as possible!

Why don't you just slow down?

Both roads are congested most of the time around the intersections so all speeding does it get you more time at the intersections twiddling your thumbs.

BTW you could have used google to find the answer to your questions in less time than it took me to type up this response.

Would love to know exactly where the speed cameras are located on River Rd (Bethesda, MD) and Mass Ave (NW DC). If you want to share others you know, that would be great, too!
