Bend, Oregon Speed Traps

This trap is Northbound only, Outside of Bend. As you go down Lava Butte Pass about 1.5 miles past the Forest Service campground and vistior center, you will be in two lanes with a divider from the souhtbound lanes. As you go down the kinda steep hill, there is a little dirt road on the right hand side. Sometimes OSP uses it as a radar trap during communting hours, but then they are close to the road and visible. What’s sneakier is the sheriff’s office shooting laser through the trees so they are almost impossible to see. They park farther back on the dirt road and have a line cut through the brush so it is real hard to see. Look for a speed limit sign on the way down and then try to look through the bushes on the right. This is maybe 2 miles before the big weigh station. Sheriffs are out mostly on nice weekends or other times with lots of tourists.

Dark Red Camaro is undercover OSP traffic unit. Operates out of Bend.

The new express way through Bend has a posted 45 mile an hour limit. Many people drive up to 55 without getting stopped. Others drive much faster as it seems like an express way, but watch out as anthing much over 55 can get you an expensive ticket. Oregon in general has high bails for speeding tickets as the State is always broke.

Travelling from Buisness 97 to Oldmill District. Motorcycle cops (usually 2) clock travellers from the Card-Access Gas station.

there’s usually a cop car or motorcycle cop, he usually hides behind some trees on a smaller intersecting street. There’s a fast part thats like 55 mph or so, then all of a sudden it goes into a residential area thats only 25 mph, and its hard to slow down that much.
