Why do you see more police patrolling Hull Street Road

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Expect to see more Chesterfield County police on Hull Street Road. Officers will be carrying out a traffic enforcement operation on Hull Street Road on Thursday 12 December.

They will focus on catching speeding drivers, reckless driving, people running red lights, driving under the influence and using mobile phones while driving.

Hull Street Road was chosen for the operation after a poll on Nextdoor, where the community chose the best place for the traffic control, according to police.

Hull Street Road got the most votes, with 47% of people favoring it over five other options.

On Thursday, more officers will be patrolling Hull Street Road, particularly in the area between the Route 288 interchange and Courthouse Road.
