Speed limit is 35 m.p.h. on all roads passing through Fort Belvoir and on roads within the post except housing areas (25 m.ph.), the new Fairfax County Parkway (45 m.p.h) and Richmond Highway (Route One) which is now 45 m.p.h. north of the Parkway and 50 m.p.h. south of the Parkway. Speed limits are indeed enforced by both military police and county police (joint jurisdiction); the law is the same for both (Virginia Code) but cases involving tickets issued by Military Police are heard at the new U.S. District Court-house in Alexandria. See COURTS.

Speed traps exist, especially on those apparently deserted stretches of road.

Vehicles and boats for sale are parked in the lot across the street from the post gas station. You do not have to be military to use this lot (to buy from it or to park here), but you must register. Presently handled by B.O.S.S. which can be contacted through 805-3781. The marina also has a bulletin board listing boats for sale.
