Portland, Texas Speed Traps

Portland Police sit on the top of the ramp at moore ave facing 181 east towards Corpus Christi and wait for traffic to pass then hit them. use caution in this area, espcially during the end of the month..

Early AM hours they watch the south bound traffic heading to Corpus Christi. They will be sitting off the ramp just past the Moore Ave overpass. Late PM hours they watch the north bound lane about 2.5 miles before the Moore Ave exit. They will be back in the bushes just past the low bride section of the causeway between Corpus Christi and Portland. Not sure about the rate of the fines for speeding but I do know they wack you for $96.00 plus court cost for seatbelts in San Patricio county. The section of 181 going through Portland is currently (till mid 2002) under construction thus traffic fines double.
