S Hwy 97 & Romaine Village Way
OSP and Deschutes Sheriff active approaching Bend from the south. This is a 4 lane 55 mph section and people usually go faster than that. When going down hill past Lava Butte and then weight station, watch out because there are several tiny right hand turns the traffic police use to sit. These are all N-bound, one is just past the Lava Butte visitor center (usually sheriff), one is a the bottom of the same pass (osp mostly), and often they are even sitting farther down by the weight area. there is a median here so they really do concentrate on northbound traffic. Sometimes even forest service Rangers use radar in this area, though I really wonder if thats legal. In the summer it is a safe drive and traffic goes fast, but in the winter slow down because it is VERY dangerous sometimes at Lava Butte. Sometimes DCSO sits at the crest of Lava Butte going south, this is usually late at night and I think they are looking for DWIs
