Been living on Meadow for 2yrs, near Maymont. And people speed down Meadow CONSTANTLY. Right passed the police department. Never seen anyone pulled over or cops by the school watchin for people speeding. Maybe the Richnond police should start enforcing some fuckin traffic. Cause people tear ass through this city.

I dunno. Maybe I'm bein ignorant and that wouldn't help. But damn I hate riding my bike around here sometimes. People drive like assholes and just blow down the street every night near my place. Sorry for the venting. Just frustrating man. Got kids all around my place playin outside. Fear the day I hear one of em get killed by a car flying down the road.

Anytime I see a cop driving behind me and then realize its only RPD I relax....they never pull anyone over for traffic. It's wild.

I'm also a cyclist and I totally relate. Had some dickhead 2 days ago in a beater driving like he's on a Nascar track try to pass me while I was in a turning lane literally turning left at the intersection...he thought he could squeeze through on my left side. This shit happens all the time.

I've been pulled over twice by RPD lol. First time was at Cary and Nansmond, some idiot nearly ran into me when I was leaving Kroger going north on Nansmond across Cary because of the shift there.

Cop does a u-turn in the middle of Cary and pulls me over. I proceed to tell him I did nothing wrong and explained the situation of what happened. So he goes back to his car and sits there for at least 20 minutes with his lights on (I had gone to Kroger to get medicine at 8pm on a Friday night because I had a suspected stomach ulcer and was in CRAZY pain, so I just had to sit there and suffer). After 20 minutes 2 other squad cars pull up and one of the other officers told me I could go, because that dickwad cop couldn't tell me himself he was wrong.

Other time was on Monument west of 195. Was going 48 because I was almost to Willow Lawn and thought it had already changed to 45, but it was still 35 in the city, around Westmoreland I think. I explained it was an honest mistake to the officer but he wrote me a ticket anyway.

RPD can eat my ass.
