Wilsonville Road near Interstate 5

Wilsonville, OregonApr 16, 20081 Comments

This is a speed trap by every definition of the term. Speed slows to 25mph for about 1/4 mile as you go down a hill under the freeway, then picks back up to 35mph once you come back up out of the dip. Towards the end of the month on sunny mornings you can fairly consistently find a motorcycle cop with a Lidar stationed on Parkway Ave, just east of I-5 looking for motorists going eastbound on Wilsonville Rd.

I am 55 years old with no tickets and no accidents. My wife and I were coming back from California and stopped to get a hamburger, then continue on to Seattle. The offramp in wilsonville was under construction and the roads where all torn up. when I was ready to get back on the freeway I had to really look to see where it was because everything was a mess. I spotted the entrance about 20 ft right of the road I was on and turned right then left to get on freeway on ramp, the ramp was about 700 ft to the top then you had to take a right to get on the freeway. I was stopped at the top by a motorcycle cop, he told me that there was a left turn only sign at the stop sign. yes he was correct, it was an old sign from before the contraction that aperantly stopped people from entering the freeway when the entrance was about 50ft left of the intersection. I did turn right then left to get on the new ramp. I took it to the Gudge and she said I zig zaged to get on the ramp? I zinged right 20ft then zinged left to get on the ramp? That means I turned right so I should not have got a ticket. If you ask the motel operators or McDonalds in wilsonville about the cop they say where is he now. I not only had to pay the ticket but it was also considered a construction zone. Lot of money for their road work payment. TRAP and also unfare ruleings.
