New: Emigrant in front of Pendleton Early Learning Center (originally Hawthorne School) between 13th and 15th
Taking up a full block, The Pendleton Early Learning Center is between SW 13th and SW 15th St and SW Emigrant and SW Frazier. The speed trap is on Emigrant (a one-way street) and Pendleton police consider drivers fair game after they cross the railroad tracks on Emigrant near 12th St.
It’s considered a speed trap because police cite drivers ever after the children are no longer on the premises (they leave between 2:30 and 3:30pm), 20MPH signs are posted just after the railroad tracks and drivers may not see them because their focus is on the change in road elevation as they drive over the raised tracks. There are no blinking lights to remind you of your speed and it’s easy to get a ticket if you’re going regular speed. So, after the railroad tracks, so slow down to 20 – for 2 blocks – or get a $170 ticket.
