FFX Cop Car on FFX PKWY (Between N & S Lanes)
Posted by: Guest ()
Date: March 29, 2010 08:07AM

Anyone notice the FFX County Cop car sitting on the divider between N & S lanes directly across from the Springfield Metro station? They started this last week. No one inside the car but it appears as though a "cop" is monitoring speeding traffic. Great tactic to get people to slowdown. It's really funny how people slam their brakes until they realize no one is inside the car.

Can't wait for the day when a cop is actually sitting inside the car and starts busting speeders.

There was probably someone in it, maybe he was laying down or something when you drove by. I doubt they would just leave a car sitting out there.

Shut up looser. This is not lame. That is how and why people come to this site. We want to know what is going on. From the least significant shit to the most important. You would not know that there is a big fire at a penthouse level at 5203 leesburg pike. Now it has become a second alarm and the building is on fire.
If it weren't for this site, you would not have known.

I would agree only that their was no smoke coming out of the exhaust! The car was empty. Last week it was sitting their all day from Morning till Night. Regardless I think its a great way to control speeders.

Get a clue, tseung. Cops have been leaving empty cruisers in high speeding areas or near intersections where ppl often run the light for years. It's an easy low-cost deterrent that works. Better to have the cruiser out keeping some people from breaking the law than have it sitting in a parking lot at the station.

Maybe the cop was nailing some chick in the back seat.

yeah, ive actually seen cruisers on the side of the road with actual dummies in the front seat wearing an old school cop hat. it really is low cost, and with what ur saying about people slowing down, it seems like it is working.

That cop car has a radar running which a cop in another car down the parkway monitors. Beware!

Who wants to give me odds on how long it will be before someone sees it, gets scared, jumps onto the median and hits the cop car.

They also sit in the median in front of INOVA, right where the emergency vehicles only turn lane is.

Is speeding such a big problem on that stretch of road?

HUGE! People are always driving 70+ in a 50 mph zone. Not to mention how many people race on that stretch.

Speeding on this section would not be a problem if the speed limit wasn't so fucking low. It needs to be 55 mph minimum, and could easily be 60 on some portions if VA law didn.t set the maximum at 55.

I've hit 75 on that section of Franconia Springfield parkway between Rolling and I-95

Simple, there's a new head cop over at the Franconia sub-station and he wants to get promoted by pushing tickets.
