Portland Photo Radar

Love ’em, or hate ’em. Everyone should be aware and watch out for these vans that we love to hate. Nothing more annoying than someone who sees the van when they are right next to it and slam on their brakes. PEOPLE, you won’t get a ticket if you are going the speed limit, or close to it. If the posted limit is 35, you don’t need to go 15 mph!

With your help we hope to build a comprehensive listing of the locations where the vans are regularly located. With this information we can hope that drivers will become more aware of the surroundings and not be so surprised. With the numbers of vans on the rise, you WILL be seeing them more often.

  1. Hmm se hawthorne blvd @ 2400 blk wst . I dont recall ever seeing any van or sign and no other history of this location online anyone seen this van??

  2. Who determines the threshold of when a driver gets a ticket? Is it set by the police department, individual officer discretion or the supplier of the photo radar company? Any help with this question will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Nick B.

    • For the photo radar vans, It is determined by the law, 10 miles an hour over the posted limit. Then it has to be verified and signed off by the officer that was posted in the van.
      For red light tickets, the infractions are determined by computer, then verified by a human. An officer from the jurisdiction then signs off on the infraction issuing the citation. In both cases they look to see if the driver is visible and attempt to verify if the gender of the driver matches the gender of the registered owner of the vehicle. When they can’t make a determination, a citation is not issued.
