Located west of the Highway 8 (Canyon Road) exit, at the onramp from the US 26 truck lane and the Sylvan exit. A Beaverton city cop will park his car at the merge point. He points various forms of radar at cars coming up the hill from the zoo and tunnel. The freeway is 50 mph to this point, but goes to 55 mph immediately after the merge. Most cars are already doing 60+ mph by the time they reach this point. Others who obey the speed limit speed up early in anticipation of the increased speed. Either way, this merge point is a perfect blind spot for a cop to hide from you until it’s too late.
