Beaverton, Oregon Speed Traps

Behind the Shell gas station, on the south west corner of the intersection. There are tall bushes that are perfect for hiding police vehicles with radar.
The speed limit is 30 MPH. which feels like a snails pace on that road. I drive this section of road twice a day and I see a radar trap there about 1/3 of the time. You will not see the trap until you have already driven past or when you stop for the light at the intersection.

The speed limit is 40, there are few lights, and when you come over the hill going South it is a downhill trap. Police cars park on the side streets where they cannot be seen by drivers. Expect them there a lot at the end of the month. I do like Beaverton & it has been rated as one of the safest cities in the Northwest.

Beaverton is known for over-hiring cops, being broke and taking advantage of its citizens. They shorten traffic yellow lights to a point where it is dangerous. Sting operations like have someone cross the street, stop in the middle and when you go by they ticket you. You can count ticket writing to be at a fever pitch the last five days before the end of the month and the first five days at the beginning of the month, speed traps or not. Chicago cops have called Oregon cops Gun crazy. What does all these things tell you. Outside of politicians and police nice place to live on the whole.

There are many roads inbetween 181st and 175th where the police sit and radar. The speed limit is 25 on a steep hill so it’s hard to stay at that speed, which I’m sure they are very aware of..

Often there is one situated on the south side of Canyon road next to one of the car dealership buildings.
At the bottom of the hill, just before the curve heading up toward Hwy 26 / Sylvan, there may be a van parked in the gravel turnout on the south side to catch east-bound travelers. The van may alternately be parked on the road (partly hidden) or completely hidden in the area of the Goodwill drop-off center parking lot to catch west-bound travelers.
Just past the turn, there is often a van parked just after the speed changes from 35-40 mph (to catch east-bound travelers). I’ve been flashed twice while someone sped by me on the left. Thankfully I never got a ticket for either one sent to me in the mail.
Alternately, there is a paved turnout across the street where very infrequently a van may be parked to catch west-bound travelers as they come around the blind corner.
2-3 blocks further up, the van may be parked on either shoulder of the road to catch motorists traveling in the closest lane.
I travel this road daily and am very careful in these extremely frequent speed-trap zones. They usually have a van in one of the 6-7 areas every other day and at random times (usually during commute times, but sometimes hidden in the dark after-hours making them very hard to see, since there are no street lights).
Most of the time they put out little placards at the side of the road a ways before and after saying "Now Entering Speed Zone" and "You Have Just Passed Through a Radar Zone" (or something like that), but a few times I’ve seen the vans there without warning signage.
