Junction City, Oregon Speed Traps

The speed limit decreased from a 55 mph zone to a 45 then 30 within less then a fifth of a mile. Officers radar vehicles within a tenth of a mile of the first 30 mph sign. This does not give motorist enough time to decelerate safely. I truly feel that this was a speed trap set for non-local residents since I was following two other vehicles with Oregon licenses plates and I was driving a rental car with California tags. I bet they don’t expect me to challenge this. I only live a half hour away.

State Highway 99 is posted as 45MPH except at either end of the city there is an obscure speed limit sign posting a 30MPH within the city limits. If you miss the sign as I did, you will probably be ticketed. The fine for being clocked at 40MPH in the 30MPH zone is $134.00 and the citation will go against your driving record even if you reside in another state (I live in Cypress, California.
