                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SIGNS INDICATING LEGAL RATE OF SPEED AND MEASUREMENT OF SPEED BY RADAR (§
46.2-883)

Signs to indicate the legal rate of speed and that the speed of motor vehicles
may be measured by radar or other electrical devices shall be placed at or near
the State boundary on those interstate and primary highways which connect the
Commonwealth to other jurisdictions at such locations as the Commissioner of
Highways, in his discretion, may select. There shall be a prima facie
presumption that such signs were placed at the time of the commission of the
offense of exceeding the legal rate of speed, and a certificate by the
Commissioner of Highways as to the placing of such signs shall be admissible in
evidence to support or rebut the presumption. Such legal rate of speed and
notice of measurement of speed by radar or other electrical devices may be
posted on different signs and need not be posted on the same sign.
