SR 20 runs E-W through Philomath, Oregon (pop. 4,000). The road is heavily trafficked, as many drivers pass through from Corvallis, Oregon or I-5 on their way to the Oregon coast and back. The speed limit through Philomath is 25 mph on the two-lane SR 20. The speed limit E and W of Philomath may be about 45-55. The police hide on the side streets and pull out behind a car and pace it. When I was caught, the police were hidden on a side street in a marked car at 1:30 am, there were two officers in the car, and there were several cars on SR 20 both behind and in front of me (at least 5-10).
