WTKR interview with TBA President

At WTKR.com:

The city says it's done studies that show there's no need to reduce the speed limit. Now they're looking at the possibility of widening the shoulder for a bike lane.

Running, jogging or walking info

Each Saturday Morning in Virginia Beach hundreds of runners take to the trails in First Landing State Park to run and walk for fitness. Many of these runners start their trek at Final Kick Sports in the Marina Shores Shoppes. Here, they find ample, safe parking and the headquarters for the local running and cycling community. The crowds arrive at around 0715 and meet up with other folks who are going similar distances at a like kind pace. We run at 0730.

Everybody from elite runners to walkers and seasoned to newbies finds a group. The staff at Final Kick is quick to get you with a group and soon fast friends result while burning off calories at the same time.

Join us for a couple of leisurely miles or a quick paced WORKOUT.

Max & min speed limit, what is aggresive driving

Posted by request.
According to Commonwealth Law at DMV's site:

Speed Limits

A speed limit is the maximum legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions. You may drive slower than the posted speed, but it is illegal to drive any faster. By law, you must drive slower if conditions make the posted speed unsafe. It is illegal to use a radar detector in Virginia. However, you may legally possess one if the device has no power source and no one in the car can access it.

Also:

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving is becoming a growing issue in Virginia, but, just what is aggressive driving? We've all seen it. It's the driver who speeds, weaves in an out of traffic, doesn't use turn signals and uses "hand gestures" that are less than polite.
