Information
The number one traffic complaint among neighborhood residents is speeding. Why are residents so concerned? Because speeding cars threaten the safety of our children and compromise the livability of our neighborhoods.
Portland Police and the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) jointly manage the City's speed and intersection safety camera program. These cameras are used to enforce traffic laws and help reduce dangerous driving behaviors, including speeding and red-light running.
PPB also manages Portland's mobile photo enforcement vans.
Mobile Photo Enforcement Vans
The Portland Police Bureau operates mobile photo enforcement vans at approved locations throughout Portland. The vans use radar technology and cameras to identify vehicles traveling above the posted speed limit.
Potential violations captured by mobile photo enforcement are reviewed before citations are issued in accordance with Oregon law.
Speed and Intersection Safety Cameras
Portland also uses fixed cameras to enforce traffic laws at designated locations. Depending on the location, cameras may enforce speeding, red-light violations, or both.
PPB and PBOT jointly manage this program as part of the City's efforts to reduce crashes and make Portland streets safer.
