Eugene, Oregon Speed Traps

Motor officers will park in a driveway right at the intersection of Crest Drive and Storey Blvd.
The speed limit is 25 mph, but a lot of traffic moves at about 30 mph. Because of pavement conditions, it’s not comforatable to drive here at over 35 mph.
One officer who hands out a lot of tickets here has issued tickets with speeds listed that were much higher than what’s comfortable on that road, which suggests that he’s cheating and expecting that the victim won’t bother to contest it.
Traffic enforcement in this town seems to be mainly revenue generation rather than to promote safety.

Motorcycle officer parks in a private business driveway north of the westbound lane of W. 11th Ave. and uses Lidar to catch motorists going 45 in a 35 mile zone where there is no signage if you turn west onto W. 11th Ave from Bertelsen or streets to the west. There is a 35 mph sign westbound just west of Bailey Hill and no further speed limit sign for a couple of miles just east of Beltline by the Target Store. If you are used to turning westbound on W. 11th Ave. from west of Bailey Hill and know that the nearest speed limit sign in the direction of travel, you will think you are in a 45 mph zone when you are, in fact, in a 35 mph zone.

MC Cops sit on both east and west sides of Jefferson street, radaring cars heading in both directions. They like to shoot cars headed northbound down the hill around 20th ave.

Motorcycle cop sits on South side of Royal Ave in a private driveway behind a large bush across from Prairie Mountain School. Speed limit is 20 mph 8-5 weekdays. BE WARE!

Cars regularly go faster than the 35 miles posted. I work in a retail store that has a large parking lot…..the speeders regularly pull over in our parking lot. Sometimes we’ll see 3 or 4 speeders pulled over in a single day. Beware! I agree that folks speed there……so beware and go the speed.
