MPPD TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT UNIT
Patrol Officers enforce the traffic code of the Commonwealth of Virginia, as well as the City of Manassas Park City code for all traffic infractions. Common traffic offenses enforced are speeding, DUI, no child seat belt or child seat, parking violations, and accident investigation.
With the exception of a few locations, the speed limit within the City of Manassas Park is 25 miles per hour (mph). The speed limit on Centreville Road (Route 28) is 35 mph, as is Signal View Road, which passes by Signal Hill Park heading towards Manassas Drive. On Manassas Drive, from the exit of the General Ridge Golf Club westbound to Euclid Avenue, the speed limit is 35 mph. Beginning just east of Mace Street to Euclid Avenue, the speed limit is 25 mph on Manassas Drive. Euclid Avenue beginning north of Conner Drive over Manassas Drive and heading by the Manassas Park Middle and High Schools to Euclid Court are 25 mph. All
residential areas and one-way streets are generally 25 mph and 15 mph, respectively unless otherwise posted.
Please be advised that police will be enforcing the speed limits of these roads with RADAR-equipped patrol cars. Officers will utilize both marked and un-marked patrol cars, either in stationary or mobile mode. Bicycle Patrol Officers are authorized to use stationary RADAR units as well!
