Default say Cheese! New PHOTO RADAR alert SE Portland

FYI there is a new photo radar unit located at the intersection of SE 102/ Washington (eastbound) near the US BANK.

Also, there is regular photo speed enforcement on SE Division between
110th and 109th
it is a white unmarked van with speed displayed in the back door and a flash setup at least 3 days a week over last few months

keep your eyes peeled

I drive I-5 from Salem to Woodburn every day to work, and have seen 3 vehicles pulled over by unmarked cars in less then a month....2 white mustangs, and one black dodge charger, so beware of these as well!

Saw one pull a good one the other day, a marked car, I was over the speed limit, but not enough that he could pull me over and make it stick.

Anyway, he sped past me, pulled in front of me, then a car flew by him, he waited til it passed him, then eased right in behind it and pulled him over!

They are tricky little suckers!

Yes, I have seen the van on Division there on and off for some time now. The bad thing is that my V1 does not pick this van up, I am not sure what technology that it is using for speed detection. It is also manned, I feel like stopping and asking how the damn thing works Do you think he would tell me?

That's odd - I have two speed guns on the way to work - just the kind that display your speed - no tickets involved. My V1 picks up one, but not the other. My Escort goes off for both though (at a shorter distance than the V1). It would be nice to know if there's many radar guns in use up here that the V1 doesn't pick up.

I heard back east of them using timing triggers in a similar layout like the drag strips use. The emitter has a reflector set up in the median. You break the beams of a timing trap, and if you are over the speed limit you get your picture taken. I'll see if I can find the website.

In that vein, I saw on the Tuesday morning news that the city of Portland is now installing "bike boxes" at more than a dozen intersections. These boxes are where bicycles can sit in the line of traffic at a light until it turns green. And, cars may not enter this box to make a "right on red".

This seems to be fairly accurate:

Even if you are like me and almost always have your radar detector on, it can't hurt to review this and make mental notes of the often used locations.........
