Virginia State Police

Last time I went through Virginia they still had the 2 hour limit in most of the big rest areas with signs posted. However, they have also built truck only rest areas that are designated as such and not time limited. Virginia is not unique in this as many of the turnpike plazas in Illinois also have time limit signs in the truck parking area. Enforcement is limited if at all according to the convenience store managers I've asked.

 

Woodbridge is famous for the wake up call, the little wide spot rest area west of Manassas and a few other special spots but if you are not parked correctly they will wake you up and then give you a ticket.

 

Virginia scales would have to close first in order to open up, lol!

 

Ohio is famous for surprise inspections in rest areas.

 

They would make you move regardless of your logbook status. I remember that. I think it was stopped as a liability issue for the state, no?

 

Yeah if it happened there then I wouldn't be surprised.. especially on the Southbound side!!

 

I lived in Prince William county for many years, that 95 rest/scales/inspection is nortorious for bang bangs on the door, if drivers are really stupid and park on the ramp when they get back to go most times a welcome party from the Commie Wealth greets them.

 

I am in VA alot, by alot I mean 3 to 4 days out of the 5 to 6 i am on the road every week. I have had 0 problems from VADOT or VASP. If you cant find a proper parking spot in VA it is complete lack of planning IMO
