What's this?

FWIW I see them on secondary roads too

There is 1 in Harrisonburg (don't call us PA), VA just north of the EMU campus. Another one I can think of is on the Herndon Parkway between the Herndon Centennial Golf Course and Reston. There used to be one on Monroe Street (off of Herndon Parkway), but I think they removed it when they changed an intersection to a 4-way stop.

Now it is possible the data collected from those does go to the DEA or whatever federal agency. However, I am not sure a person can always distinguish the difference simply by which road the thing is on.

Road signs that tell your speed also track your license plate in Virginia -- VaAkita 10/01/2018 12:52PM

Yea, the government shouldn't have copious amounts of your data for law... -- Vtskier1 10/01/2018 1:40PM

I blame Will. ** -- 48zip 10/01/2018 1:45PM

Wonder if tickets issued on that info will hold up in court? -- EDGEMAN 10/01/2018 12:57PM

In VA, can not use a carmera to issue a speeding ticket without an officer. -- Wythe Hokie 10/01/2018 1:35PM

The DEA doesn't write speeding tickets. ** -- vtbones 10/01/2018 1:07PM

True. Civil Asset Forfeiture is FAR more lucrative ** -- Beerman 10/01/2018 1:24PM

You think that's the only org that gets that info? -- EDGEMAN 10/01/2018 1:14PM

You're the one who thinks a federal agency is going to share it's data -- vtbones 10/01/2018 1:24PM

If states are paying the cost to install them and using state employees -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 1:29PM

Doesn't matter in this case. -- vtbones 10/01/2018 1:43PM

I understand the article is talking about a specific place in VA (Lorton) -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 1:50PM

Lorton isn't mentioned at all. -- vtbones 10/01/2018 2:04PM

If you click on the "Virginia" hyperlink in the article, then this pops up -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 2:32PM

I'd guess these are mostly interstate highway travel, so no locals needed. -- 48zip 10/01/2018 1:36PM

Oh yeah, I think most today are local roads. But... -- 48zip 10/01/2018 2:11PM

Yes, I do agree with you that the DEA will use them more in interstates -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 2:50PM

I usually use 17 when running "stuff" to WV. That one just N of I-66 is -- 48zip 10/01/2018 3:05PM

Supposedly 11 and 33 (towards WV) are somewhat popular routes ** -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 3:08PM

Probably works like red light cameras. -- Hokie360 10/01/2018 1:05PM

As long as they don't cause a "bump" in your insurance rates...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 10/01/2018 1:06PM
