Sherwood, Oregon Speed Traps

The speed limit is 45 on 99W heading towards Portland then you get a “reduced speed ahead” sign listing 35 (due to construction?) only on the right hand side of the road (it’s 3 lanes wide – 4 if you count turning lanes here) and suddenly the 35 mph sign is right at the intersection where all the cameras are. I was in the far left lane and with truck traffic there is no way to see the “warning” sign let alone the 35 mph sign IN the intersection – so I drove through the green light at 45 mph. The fine is HUGE so be careful out there.

At NB Pacific Hwy at Sunset Blvd intersection there is a speed sensor trap when the speed drops from 55 mph to 45 mph and if you are above 45 mph at the intersection you will get a ticket in the mail.

it appears to be a red-light camera but it is also a speed trap camera. The 45 mph sign ahead of the light apparently isn’t the first one. City maps show the inter-section as 55 mph but in fact it is 45 mph. It is safe to be driving 55 up to these lights (heading North) but yes it should be 45 mph beyond them.

Red-light cameras also function as radar guns on the 2 major intersections at each end of Sherwood on highway 99. Both are at the transition from town to open highway where the speed goes from 55 to 45. (The safe flow of traffic is usually 60+ right up to these lights.)
