Speed Cameras Coming to George Washington Parkway

Virginia’s George Washington Memorial Parkway is getting a safety boost with a new law allowing state and local police to help enforce traffic laws—currently handled by U.S. Park Police. The move comes after a National Park Service study revealed speeding is a major cause of crashes on the road, despite posted limits of 35-45 mph. While speed cameras are on the table, federal approval is still needed before installation. A separate congressional proposal would return camera ticket revenue to the National Park Service for parkway improvements. The law goes into effect July 1, setting the stage for a safer drive—but final details remain pending. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
