Speed Cams Coming To 4 Beaverton Intersections

BEAVERTON, OR — Beaverton police are adding speed enforcement technology to the red light cameras already being used at four intersections in the city where frequent speeding violations are observed. As a courtesy to commuters, police will issue warnings via their remote enforcement for the first month after installation.

The Beaverton Police Department will begin the one-month warning period this Saturday, Sept. 15. Citations will be mailed after Oct. 15.

One intersection will be upgraded with the added enforcement immediately, with the other three expected to come online later this year and in 2019.

The intersections are:

• Southwest Walker Road and Southwest Cedar Hills Boulevard, at the Cedar Hills Crossing shopping center, will be the first intersection to come online.
• Southwest Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and Southwest Griffith Drive, at Beaverton Town Square
• Southwest Allen Boulevard and Southwest Lombard Avenue, at the outlet mall
• Southwest Scholls Ferry Road and Southwest Hall Boulevard, by Washington Square Mall

To justify the added photo enforcement, police officials said more than 94,000 drivers between July 1, 2015, and July 1, 2016, were captured speeding at least 11 mph over the posted limit at these four specific intersections.

When a driver is flagged as speeding through the intersection, a Beaverton officer will review the recorded data to confirm accuracy before mailing a citation to the driver.
